Barking & Dagenham Giving - Everyone Included Information

Barking and Dagenham Giving was set up in 2020 to give local people more opportunities to participate in decision-making. The people of Barking and Dagenham are at the heart of everything we do. Uniquely, all our funding and investment decisions are made by residents to achieve social good in one of the most deprived and diverse boroughs in England. Our aim is to attract £10 million of additional investment to the borough over the next decade to tackle systemic issues like child obesity, domestic abuse and a lack of opportunities for young people. We’re in it for the long haul - and we’re hopeful about the future in Barking and Dagenham. Local people have the appetite to improve the borough and our community-led grantmaking and social investment can accelerate their efforts.
