PAN LONDON
- THE ESTATE WE’RE IN
Making headlines with The London Evening Standard We joined forces with The London Evening Standard in 2010, after they ran a series of investigative articles on poverty and inequality in London entitled ‘The Dispossessed’, published over the course of a week. Working together made sense: the newspaper had the ability to raise awareness and vital funds; we offered expert knowledge of London’s community groups and years of experience allocating grants. The Dispossessed Fund was born. Seven years later, the fund has raised over £18 million from the general public, businesses, the Government, Comic Relief and the Big Lottery – more than any other newspaper campaign outside of war or natural disaster. Together, we’re directing record-breaking sums to help grassroots charities tackling poverty, inequality and exclusion across the capital. We’ve touched the lives of more than 150,000 people and counting.
