Resilient economies and communities
Resilient economies and communities
Introduction
In 2023, we launched a three-year programme of Fellowships focused on Resilient Economies and Communities.
A Fellowship funds you to spend 4-8 weeks meeting and learning from leading innovators in your field around the world in order to share and implement that learning in the UK.
In this programme, we are seeking applications that help to build resilience for UK communities of all kinds, through increasing economic activity and opportunity. More information is below and you can sign up for application alerts by email here.
Please share information about Fellowships by sharing and downloading this pdf.
Applications have closed for this year. We will re-open in September 2025.
We are particularly interested in projects that use economic activity to achieve any of these goals:
- Strengthening those communities most affected by current or long-term economic challenges and future-proofing them against further economic shifts.
- Unlocking the economic potential of disadvantaged communities and individuals through equitable access to jobs and skills.
- Mobilising the power of the business sector or social enterprise to support communities.
- Ensuring that economic activities operate sustainably and support a just transition to a green future.
We welcome applications from the business or community sectors. We will prioritise applications that adopt inclusive, participatory and collaborative approaches.
Fellows in this programme form part of a dedicated community specialising in this area, with tailored opportunities for support and networking in this field.
This programme is offered in partnership with the John Armitage Charitable Trust. It is guided by our Economy and Enterprise Working Group of Fellows and other experts in this field.
Fellows awarded in previous years have carried out projects in this area. See some examples of their impact stories here.
We recognise our responsibility to the environment through our Fellowship programme and our operations. Our progress on this is explained here.
