Moat Housing’s Pollards Hill Community Committee, facilitated by Moat Foundation is a great supporter of much of our work. This year alone we have received grants to run children’s holiday and after-school activities, to run the Pollards PASS and Raising Starts football, sports and wellbeing programmes for young people and to introduce fun exercise classes for older people.
Sustainable Merton
Sustainable Merton is one of Commonside’s long-term partners, with whom we have successfully delivered the Merton Community Fridge Network project since 2020. We have also worked with SM this summer on a gardening project and planted and grown vegetables in our allotment.
UTCAI Centre
Working with the UTCAI Centre to deliver the Alternative Education Provision has been a year in planning and we are due to launch in October. https://newhorizonutcaicentre.com/ https://www.utcai.co.uk/
Fulham Football Foundation
We very much enjoy working with Fulham Football Foundation to deliver our Pollards PASS, Young Women’s Football and Sporting Memories projects, all of which are now fully funded for this year. https://www.fulhamfc.com/foundation/
Merton Connected and Merton Council
Merton Connected and Merton Council are not just partners, over the past couple of years they have truly acted as life savers: the Council has helped with practical and PPE support in particular and Merton Connected with advice and by coordinating Merton Giving, through which we have won much-needed financial support.
Locality
Our membership of Locality has been essential over the past months. Our colleagues at Locality have provided policy updates, discussion groups, moral support and access to government funding platforms that have really helped us to keep going. https://locality.org.uk/
