Trace is from one of the groups funded in our racial justice round and took part in the shortlisted for round 5. She has written a message about her experience shortlisting and a call out for support:
Hi my name is Trace and I took part in shortlisting.
This is my first time that I got to witness how hard it is to have to say no to groups and this was not because they’re not good enough but because we don’t have the funds to support them to continue to make a difference.
Please please please can you help us, your support would make such an impact for these grassroots community-led local organisations that work so hard to support their communities and just need a financial stepping stones whilst they continue with the groundwork. This support is often what’s needed to show us that you do believe in what we’re doing and gives us that energy that we need to continue as we are often disheartened when asking for help and hearing no.
I really hope you support and thank you in advance for your generosity.
