About London Calling
London Calling is an initiative of Resource for London and London Plus. Our aim is to help connect London’s thousands of charities to relevant events, training, and funding opportunities taking place across the capital.
We collate the latest opportunities from our partners for London’s not-for-profits, all in one place. London Calling is a new project and we welcome feedback to help us further develop this website.
We are proud to work with City Bridge Foundation – London’s biggest independent charity funder – which bridges London and connects communities through grant funding and progressive partnerships and alliances.
Lead Organisations
Resource for London
Resource for London is where London’s voluntary sector comes together to work, meet and connect. For over 25 years the centre has been a key hub for the sector providing offices, conference, training and meeting rooms, offices, meeting and exhibition space, conferences, training, and events.
Resource for London is the largest charity centre in London. It delivers outstanding social impact within the voluntary sector in many ways. It is home to a number of important organisations addressing poverty and inequality in the capital. Each year over 150,000 people visit Resource for London to attend more than 2,000 meetings and events.
London Plus
Set up in its current form in 2019, London Plus is a small but influential charity that has successfully established itself over the past few years as a vital resource for charities and community groups. Our purpose is to enable community groups and charities to make London thriving, cohesive, and resilient. Our values drive our work. We are committed to promoting equality and championing diversity in everything we do, so that charities and community groups across London are stronger, inclusive and reflective of the people who live in London.
We are a trusted partner of many organisations across all London’s 32 boroughs, working to champion and support charities and community groups. This is done by making connections, running networks, collecting data, and working to communicate with partners and stakeholders. Ultimately, London Plus helps organisations across the voluntary and community sector do more, and do better.
