ECCAN's Participation Fund Opens Doors to Climate Action
The climate crisis impacts us all, yet the voices driving solutions don't always reflect that reality. At ECCAN, we're changing that. We're excited to announce the launch of our Participation Fund, a dynamic initiative designed to dismantle barriers and amplify diverse perspectives within the climate movement.
We recognise that financial constraints, accessibility challenges, and systemic inequalities can prevent passionate individuals from engaging fully in climate action. This fund is our commitment to building a truly inclusive and representative movement.
What's the Buzz About?
The Participation Fund isn't just a handout; it's an investment in a stronger, more effective climate future. We're providing targeted support to ensure everyone has the opportunity to contribute their unique insights and experiences.
Here's How We're Making it Happen:
Addressing barriers: We're covering costs like travel, childcare, accessibility (think sign language interpreters or specialised equipment), and other relevant support.
Flexible Funding: We understand that everyone's situation is unique. If you face a specific barrier, tell us about it. We're here to listen and find solutions.
Empowering Participation: This fund unlocks opportunities for individuals to attend ECCAN events, workshops, and contribute to vital climate initiatives.
Why Should You Care?
Amplified Impact: Diverse voices lead to innovative, equitable solutions that benefit everyone.
Real Representation: We're building a movement that genuinely reflects the communities we serve.
Grassroots Power: We're empowering individuals to drive change from the ground up.
Living Our Values: Inclusivity and accessibility aren't just buzzwords; they're core to our mission.
Who's Eligible?
Any ECCAN members facing financial or logistical hurdles to engaging with ECCAN are encouraged to apply. We particularly welcome applications from individuals and groups from historically excluded communities.
