We are a diverse group uniting to identify, tackle and understand areas of need in Dagenham
HOMELESSNESS
Supporting people rough sleeping and those who are currently homeless or in insecure accommodation.
HEALTHY
EATING
Helping to make healthy, home-cooked meals for all the family that won’t break your budget.
SOCIAL
ENTERPRISE
Using social enterprises to help redistribute key essentials to people in need.
SHIFTING POWER TO THE PEOPLE
We use participatory methods to help engage our fellow citizens, building programmes that could provide a blueprint for others.
The dynamos of Dagenham are part of a wider network of Participatory Grant Making (PGM) groups who are coming together to learn, shape and push forward new models of funding and ways of identifying exciting new ideas in the community.
From our initial work, we have already seen how PGM across Barking & Dagenham has started to shift power and enable more people’s voices to be heard.
