Luton Innovation & Collaboration Fund

As part of Luton Borough Council’s groundbreaking Fairness Taskforce, and thanks to funding received from the National Lottery Community Fund, BLCF are working with local partners to offer a new fund to deliver actions of Luton’s Fairness Taskforce.

A community leadership programme to foster new connections between emerging leaders, who wouldn’t usually cross paths or work together, to build a founding network of leaders that is centred on trust and connection.

BLCF have a number of other funds for VCSE working in Luton, see their website for further information!

The Young Foundation has a longstanding relationship with Luton Council. During the winter of 2022 Luton Council, Bedfordshire & Luton Community Foundation (BLCF), and The Young Foundation helped launch a Collaboration Fund. 

This fund was developed through the early work of the Luton Fairness Taskforce and set-out to support new partnerships and deepen collaborative ways of working to deliver support to several priority groups: 

• Carers and Disabled People
• Vulnerable people, or made vulnerable by Covid 19 (across all ages)
• People from ethnic minority backgrounds disproportionately impacted by Covid
• Women who have been disproportionately impacted by Covid 19.
