Geeks for Social Change

Tools and processes for community liberation. An occasional podcast documenting GFSC and friends’ attempts to build joyful inclusive communities in an increasingly hostile world. Rooted in ideas from trans liberation, anti-racism and disability activism, we connect the dots between grassroots community resistance, big tech totalitarianism, bashing your head against local government, love/hate relationships with shiny devices, and co-producting software that actually works.

Everything we want to tell you about your funding scheme...

...but are afraid to tell you because we can't afford to piss you off

When facilitating community projects, one key question is ‘how do we make this sustainable?’. The answer, supposedly, is to look to funding bodies for financial assistance, by applying for funding bids. This talk explores the realities of relying on funding like this to carry out projects, where things fall through the gaps, and the impact this has on the work that we’re all ostensibly here to carry out.

This episode of the Geeks for Social Change podcast was recorded as part of an NHS Start With People event on March 30th 2023. As this was originally delivered as a talk with slides, there are audio descriptions of each slide as they come up.
