Inquiry: How to sustain place-based change

The question of how we can sustain place-based systems change has been one that many of us have been grappling with for years. In recent years, as we've moved to slightly longer funding cycles, people leading this work have faced real challenge when seeking to embed the changes they've made beyond the initial funding they received.

With support from partners including Esmée Fairbairn, Homewards, Turn2us, Pathway Fund and others, we set out to explore how we can change this.
