FTC Launches £1M Impact Partnership Programme Co-design Panel
The Film and TV Charity is investing £1m through its Impact Partnership Programme. The Programme will develop support, resources, and access for Black and Global Majority industry workers, contributing to the creation of an inclusive, equitable, anti-racist industry where everyone can thrive.
We believe the expertise, insights and lived experience of Black and Global Majority workers combined with the organisations that hold power in our industry will provide a potent foundation for ground-breaking creativity. This phase of the Impact Partnership Programme will bring together a cross-section of industry stakeholders to find the most effective way to drive sustainable change.
We are recruiting six panel members, representing organisations and groups, through this open call to industry. These six will join our co-design panel and work with us to determine how best to allocate the £1m investment.
The Impact Partnership Programme was conceived during a global pandemic and fuelled by the murder of George Floyd. It is driven by an urgent need to help Black and Global Majority film and television professionals tell the stories that shape our world.
As members of the Film and Television Charity’s Inclusivity Committee, we understand the need for and the importance of creating dedicated spaces where Black and Global Majority creatives can explore their voices, professional challenges, and untold stories. The insights we gained following qualitative and quantitative research into the industry show that it clearly needs to evolve and put infrastructure in place to enable Black and Global Majority professionals to have access to programmes and opportunities which unequivocally lead to sustainable and satisfying jobs.
