About Agbero
We call Agbero a ‘strategic intervention’ because it is designed to empower leaders to challenge systemic racial inequality by envisioning a future built on sustainable infrastructure, thriving community assets, robust intergenerational leadership, and flourishing local enterprises.
At the heart of this intervention are a series of masterclasses, a tool to assess the readiness of organisations to take on funding and manage their buildings sustainably and tailored 1-2-1 support for community leaders in line with your needs.
Agbero is based on our own experiences of setting up and running cultural and community centres, as well as being underpinned by our latest research project titled A Place to Call Home 2.0. 2023. Research author Karl Murray said,
“For long we have been engaged in capacity support development without realistically understanding the readiness of organisations to access investment opportunities, whether grant aid or corporate donations, for example. We are in a position where we now know what else organisations can do, and specifically, the type of organisation development support opportunities that will get them there. We hope funders (and other investors) see the opportunities the framework provides in supporting their funding processes, especially with respect to organisational development capacity support. Though the framework emerged from the work we are doing with Black and racially minoritised led organisations it has applicability across the swathe of voluntary and community sector organisations.”
The framework Karl Murray refers to focuses on producing an action plan based on 6 key areas of organisational assessment which are:
Governance and leadership
Operations and infrastructure
Financial resources
Physical asset ownership
Impact and effectiveness
Connectedness and engagement.
To find out more about these areas, the research it is based on and how to join Agbero, please head over to one of the events in your region supported by our partners, The Phoenix Way.
