Trust for London - Disability Justice Fund

Our vision is for a strong, sustainable and inclusive disability movement in London. One where Disabled people lead lasting change and have the power and resources to shape decisions that affect their lives.

We’re supporting an influential disability movement, where:

• Disabled people and Deaf and Disabled people's organisations (DDPOs) are regularly present in policy and decision-making spaces, invited to participate and have the capacity to engage effectively.
• Organisations and groups led by Disabled people can articulate and fight for the change they want to see without experiencing burnout.
• Campaigning is sustained, strategic and collaborative, drawing on research, lived experience and alliances with others.
• The full diversity of Deaf and Disabled people’s experiences, perspectives and voices are represented and heard.

Work we'll fund

We will fund groups working for long-term change for Deaf and Disabled Londoners.

This includes:

• Campaigning and/or advocacy work that challenges injustice at a local, regional or national level.
• New and/or creative ways of organising, mobilising or campaigning, either by individual DDPOs or groups of organisations working together.
• Work that builds the capacity of DDPOs to campaign influence and mobilise more effectively, particularly intersectional organisations.
• Campaigns led by groups or coalitions of DDPOs on issues important to the disability movement, especially where change feels achievable.
