📢 Wondering how an Edge Fund grant can support grassroots organisations? 🌱🌱Read it directly from Communities for Holistic, Affordable, Rights Based Mental Health (Manchester). Thanks to CHARM for the testimony!

Image with the question: How do Edge grants support grassroots organisations? And the testimony of Communities for Holistic, Accessible, Rights Based Mental Health - CHARM (Manchester, UK) reading:

’We used the funds to support our campaigning work and to pay for meeting spaces, a zoom account that has enabled us to hold our monthly CHARM society meetings, and support and planning groups. These are our engine rooms generating the actions and projects we have been running’.

‘We have been running a campaign in support of the patients at Edenfield Secure Psychiatric hospital who experienced horrific human rights abuses. We called for an independent inquiry and got widespread media coverage’

‘We followed up with a presentation by people with lived experience to the Health Scrutiny Committee on the crisis in mental health services and we wrote our own response to the independent review finding, entitled Share Power to End the Abuse of Power’.

How Edge Fund grants support the grassroots? Read it directly from @wealdactiongroup.bsky.social! Thanks for sharing this testimony: 'The grant went towards costs for our website and to produce a video to explain what was happening at Horse Hill Oil site'.

How Edge Fund grants support the grassroots groups? 'The grant went towards costs for our website and to produce a video to explain what was happening at Horse Hill Oil State' by Weald Action Group.

The campaign had a historic win in 2024 as the Supreme Court judged that Surrey County Council acted unlawfully by giving planning permission for oil production at Horse Hill without considering the climate impacts from burning the extracted oil. This has far-reaching results against the UK fossil sector. 'This is a welcome step towards a safer, fairer future' Sarah, Weald Action Group. 'If Horse Hill is considered unlawful all new oil and gas projects should be!' Laure, from Stop Rosebank

The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London. Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers. The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

Generation Rent @generationrent.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

With the cost of renting outpacing our wages, many opt to become property guardians or lodgers, but this comes with a major cost—less protection. Read what our Chief Executive @bentwomeyuk.bsky.social had to say to about this to @cnnbusiness.bsky.social below 👇 edition.cnn.com/2025/01/31/b...

edition.cnn.com

Londoners are paying to live in deserted schools, office blocks and an old cathedral to avoid ‘insane’ rents | CNN Business

Increasing numbers of Londoners are moving into disused properties as “guardians,” lured by fees that are usually much lower than rents in the same area.
