What matters to you

Through the ongoing work of our Learning Partners, Animate, we interviewed Michael and Stewart who are housing officers working for Dundee City Council. They told us about their experience of working with two local women living in Charleston.

In philanthropy and impact investing, beginnings often command the spotlight. Governance structures, due diligence, and investment rigor rightfully receive significant attention. Sustainability and legacy are acknowledged along the way, but as delivery becomes routine, this focus narrows and we lose sight of our final, and perhaps most important role as funder. That of navigating the exit.

Congratulations to Dundee City Council on winning the Strengthening Communities & Local Democracy award at the recent COSLA Excellence Awards in recognition of their work with What Matters 2 You to transform conditions to deliver whole system, place-based approaches which put local people at the front and centre of everything they do.
