Learning from our funded Partners
We continue to implement our learning framework agreed in May 2023 that includes a strengthened and more transparent process of renewing grants and enables us better to understand the difference charities are making and identify ways in which we can support funded partners, in addition to funding, in a practical and proportionate way.
We shared the detail of this framework, our insights after six months and the learning we have turned into action in our first learning blog published in April 2024: www.peterminet.org.uk/news/sharing-our-practice-unrestricted-funder-why-we-had-learning-review-and-what-it-looks.
This learning has fed into the Trust’s Strategy 2025-2028.
IVAR’s Open and Trusting campaign
Peter Minet renewed its contribution to the 'Open and Trusting Campaign' led by IVAR, a research agency and charity. The campaign calls for funders to adopt more open and trusting practices that make life easier for organisations they fund.
Learning, blogs and research
We have recently been involved with the following IVAR research and publications and I'm also sharing a link to the blog of one of our funded partners, Juvenis, on working with Peter Minet Trust. You can download this research in the boxes below.
