Camden Giving

We want more people to know about what our amazing Equality Fund grantees are doing! Action Youth Boxing Intervention (AYBI), started over 7 years ago, received their first-ever funding from us. This support helped them get their interventions into schools, using boxing to help young people channel their frustrations and anger into something positive. 🥊✨ Now, they have their own space, are expanding into Angel, and have built a team dedicated to supporting our young people. 🌟 It’s crucial to keep places like this open. This wouldn’t be possible without your donations. Sign up for monthly donations today to ensure we can continue making a difference. https://lnkd.in/d-c_QgY 💚 The photo features Albert McEyeson, AYBI founder, a resident who was on the panel that funded AYBI, and a representative from Argent LLP who donated to this fund, showing the community effort behind AYBI's success.

🎉 Congrats to Moonbug Entertainment! 🎉 We’re thrilled to share that Moonbug has smashed their fundraising goal for the triathlon! 🏅🏊♂️🚴♀️🏃♂️ A huge thank you to everyone who supported the fundraiser! Special thanks to Robin Crowther-Smith for leading this partnership and making it all possible.

Donations to Camden Giving support local projects chosen by Camden residents. 🌟 Thanks to your support, Khadys Dream and leaders like Kevin Koffi can continue their vital work. At a recent workshop, they surveyed 40 young people aged 13-21. Shockingly, 37 out of 40 said they’d willingly go to prison for 2 years or more for £1000. This shows how important Khadys Dream is.

The The Social Change Nest is running a summer campaign to support grassroots groups and activists. 🔥 Special Offer: Onboarding fees are frozen until 8th August 2024! If you’re part of a grassroots group or know of one that could benefit from fiscal hosting support, this is a great opportunity. 🔗 Learn more and apply here: https://lnkd.in/eeUUYFgF

Last week I had the privilege of attending Camden Giving's Equality Fund Celebration on behalf of Moonbug Entertainment to hear about the vitally important projects the fund has helped to establish. I spent time talking to Kevin Koffi, the founder of Khadys Dream, 'an innovative support service designed to provide a comprehensive safety net for young people at risk... dedicated to deterring them from committing crimes through in-depth workshops about the consequences of crime'. They surveyed 40 young people aged 13-21 at a workshop in Camden in July 2023.  37 out of 40 said they'd willingly go to prison for 2 years or more for £1000... Kevin and his project are an inspiration and demonstrate the drastic need for their work and exemplify the value of participatory grant making, led by amazing organisations like Camden Giving. We're proud to support them.

At the Equality Fund celebration event, grantees, panellists, and business partners met for the first time to discuss each grantee’s needs and goals. Batuala from Creators House is holding his poster, which beautifully outlines their mission and vision. We do this work to ensure voices like Batuala's are heard and supported. Have a read and share! 🌟

Following the NW5 post, today we're sharing a pic of our grantee, CLIME-IT BROTHERS LIMITED! Each grantee at our Equality Fund celebration had a custom poster to showcase their work and needs. Our goal is to get more people to know about those bringing communities together for a better Camden. Clime-It Brothers is a clothing brand helping young people get employed and keep that entrepreneurial spirit alive instead of selling drugs by selling clothing. Let us know in the comments if you've visited their store in Camden Market! 📣✨ #EqualityFund #CommunityImpact #KeepItCamden

At our 2024 Equality Fund celebration, each grantee had a custom poster made by Melissa from Engage Here to showcase their work and needs. We often hear, "I didn't know this existed!" which is why we did this—to spread the word about these amazing projects. First up is NW5 Project! 📣✨ #EqualityFund #CommunityImpact #KeepItCamden

🌟 Exciting news 🌟 I am thrilled to share that I have been selected as one of the recipients of the Equality Fund! 🎉 Attending the meeting and connecting with fellow recipients has been an incredible honor. 💫 Being part of this network empowers us to bring communities together and drive positive change. Let's work together to make a difference! 🌍✨ #EqualityFund #CommunityBuilders #ChangingLives #CamdenGiving

🚴♂️🏊♀️ Not only are they fundraising for Camden Giving, but they're also putting in the hard work with their training for the T100 triathlon! We're incredibly proud of their dedication. Let's cheer them on as they prepare for the big day! 🌟
