Our work with the public sector

Since April 2020, we have distributed public sector funding totalling more than £2.5 million. We have worked extensively with London Borough of Hackney as well as with colleagues in North East London Clinical Commissioning Group.

These partnerships were established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and demonstrated clearly the value of cross-sectoral work. We are honoured to have played a part in building a successful model of multi-sector partnerships and are pleased to be able to continue this work into the future.

In 2024, Hackney Giving was highlighted as an example of good practice for councils in working with infrastructure organisations https://www.local.gov.uk/publications/working-local-infrastructure-organisations-engage-smaller-vcfse-organisations-good
