1h. Make it Happen – Small Grants for Local Ideas – November 21 We worked with Peabody, Cripplegate (as Islington Giving), Southern Housing Group, Hyde, Newlon, Help On Your Doorstep (HOYD), and Octopus to develop this borough-wide micro grant offer to residents to apply for £500 grants to bring a community project to life, and how local voluntary and community sector organisations can support residents to apply. 1i. How to Write a Property Plan – May 21 In partnership with leading UK property advice charity, the Ethical Property Foundation we offered this free property webinar run by experienced surveyors and property advisers. Organisations learnt how to write a simple, well thought out property plan to secure the future of your organisation in a COVID-19 world. Participants received an information pack with the opportunity to obtain free follow-up expert advice. This event was part of the 2021 National Programme for Property Education, bringing free property training to local groups in London and across England & Wales. Annual and Impact Report 21/22 13
