I’m excited and nervous (like all good things) to share that my Thirty Percy role continues to evolve. I’ve now stepped into the role of Transitionary Executive Director. Why transitionary? Thirty Percy Foundation Percy faces some big questions about its future role, and I'm committed to guiding us through these explorations. It won't be perfect; we'll make mistakes, but we're dedicated to learning along the way. Special shoutout to Jen Hooke for her bold ambition and tenacity, making Thirty Percy the incredible platform it is today. A place to stretch and push the edges of how funding can be done differently. My aspirations are for us to continue this journey and be sharing more widely some of what we’re doing and all the rich insights from that. Of course - leadership isn’t a solo act; it’s a collective effort. Our brilliant team and expanding network of collaborators and all those we work closely alongside make it all possible. And it continues to expand - we’ve also got two new roles coming soon. Changemaker Program Lead and a Learning Curator for our Spiral work, so watch this space… 🐚✨

Calling fellow funders! Join us for a transformative design sprint to challenge and disrupt the entrenched structures that have allowed systemic racism to persist. Recent events have shown how quickly energy can shift, and now is the time to apply that urgency to create lasting change. This event will focus on practical steps we can take to deepen our practice of responsive action and tackle the bigger structural challenges within our organisations. Let’s work together to make a real impact—starting with ourselves and the influence we can have. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the solution.

This call to action is something all of the funding sector needs to take seriously. The structural and positional power we hold as funding organisations means it is imperative that we play our part in stamping out the root causes of the violence and injustice we’re seeing. Recognising the role funders play in perpetuating these dynamics, the work we need to do around whiteness as part of this, and the unique role we have to invest and resource the future we want to see. Grateful to Bonnie Chiu for the courage in opening this conversation, recognising the energy and labour it takes to do this. We have some ideas about what our contribution should be and will be reaching out to our fellow funders over the coming days.

In the past week, the violent racism and Islamophobia have been deeply painful for people of colour and migrants in the UK. While there have been statements of solidarity, isn't this an opportunity for more bold commitments, especially from philanthropic funders? I have published the below call to actions in a personal capacity - I have hesitated whether to do so as I worry about potential accusations, and it's also exhausting to always keep calling for change. I had pitched to media outlets and funders networks, but no one seems to be able to move fast enough... But thanks to my close peers, collaborators and friends - some I can name, some I can't - I have taken the step to start a conversation. I hope a sector body can take this up and hold the funding sector accountable for more actions on anti-racism! Special thanks to Amir Rizwan Jake Hayman Ngozi Lyn Cole she/her Muna Rogoff Sarah Mohammad Sheeza Shah Stephanie Brobbey and with organisational support from Good Ancestor Movement The Social Investment Consultancy (TSIC) #UKriots #antiracism #Philanthropy #Commitments

We are looking for a Changemaker Program Lead to work alongside the Changemaker Team to bring our two funds, Changemaker Trust Fund and The Honouring Fund, to life. In addition, you’ll be exploring the possibilities and creating a strategy to evolve the program beyond Thirty Percy. Interested? https://lnkd.in/etVJmzmp

For this current sprint, designing a fund to support Elder Changemakers, we wanted to invite our current changemakers to either participate in the co-design week and/or the sprint itself. Rupert Walters stepped up to join both. Here are his first reflections on his experience so far: https://lnkd.in/dW5ehBy9
