The Foundations Independent Living Trust (FILT) is a charitable fund that provides grants to Home Improvement Agencies (HIAs) across the UK to fund vital home repairs and improvements for clients facing hardship. It has distributed over £1.6 million to HIAs since 2003. FILT secures funding from various partners and funders and distributes the money to local HIAs who use it to pay for repairs, adaptations, and services like gas safety checks for vulnerable clients. One example described an 83-year old man with dementia who received boiler and loft insulation installations through his local HIA with FILT funding.

LWB12: Peter Wanless, Big Lottery FundCivic Agenda
Presentation by Peter Wanless, Chief Executive of the Big Lottery Fund, during the first plenary 'Promoting Well-being in London's communities - The here and now' at the third London Well-being Conference.
Following the success of community owned solar energy projects in Brixton, Brighton, Bath and elsewhere a group of residents is working to set up a not-for-profit solar energy co-operative based in South East London. This will be a cooperatively owned enterprise that generates renewable electricity for use by householders and for sale to the national electricity grid.
The group plans to raise investment from the community to enable them to install solar panels on the large sunny roofs of building providing social housing or community services.Generating clean electricity in this way can potentially provide low cost or free electricity and fund energy efficiency measures whilst also providing a return to investors
The groups invites all those who would like to get involved in setting up the cooperative or who would like to find out more about investing in it or benefiting from it get in touch! These slides are from the first public meeting held on Sunday 9th March 4 – 5.30pm at the Food Bank, 467 New Cross Road.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
