NSUN has today published a new report exploring how collaborations and partnerships between user-led groups (ULGs) build resilience and sustainability.
It is the result of a project by The Teapot Collective, a collective of learning partners, facilitators, and yoga guides who focus on anti-oppressive and radical work, commissioned by NSUN and funded by Propel.
The purpose of this project was to understand how collaborations and partnerships between user-led groups (ULGs) build resilience and sustainability. The Teapot Collective, commissioned by NSUN, undertook collaborative research with six London-based ULGs through workshops that were designed to be of use to the participating groups themselves.
You might be interested in this report if you’re a member of a ULG looking to learn more about sustaining and developing your group, or if you are part of an organisation or initiative which funds or otherwise supports ULGs: there is a call to funders toward the end of the report, setting out how you may better support ULGs.
As well as the research report, two online resources for ULGs were produced as part of this project: a self-guided visioning workshop, and a 3-step guide for mutual aid and food projects.
