027: Innovating funding with Chris Manion from the British Science Association

Today we're speaking with the Head of Grants at the British Science Association, Chris Manion.

We'll be discussing The Ideas Fund, an innovative public engagement program that provides grants for community groups and researchers who have new ideas for addressing local challenges related to mental health and wellbeing. We'll also be looking at the role funders play in bringing about social change, the power imbalances that accompany grant giving and what funders can do to ensure they address this imbalance.

You can find out more about The Ideas Fund at www.theideasfund.org

If you are a funder and you would like to meet with other funders to discuss the challenges, ideas, and opportunities relating to grant making, then head over to www.losingcontrol.org
