March newsflash 2026

This is a quick newsflash to highlight some support opportunities coming up in April.

Thanks so much to everyone who completed our vision survey last month, and came to our last meeting. We'll be sharing news about the new vision we've decided on based on all your amazing feedback shortly.

As ever, everyone is welcome to be part of our emerging Hub - let us know if you can make our next meeting, on Tuesday 7 Apr 6pm – 8pm.

Join The Living Systems Alliance Community of Practice - last chance to apply

The Living Systems Alliance are inviting place-based partnerships to apply for one of up to 10 places in the Living Systems Alliance Community of Practice. Deadline this Sunday - 5th April

Place-based partnerships are collaborations made up of multiple groups, organisations and communities who have come together, formally or informally for the benefit of people and ecosystems in their regions. Selected partnerships will receive mentoring, peer learning, a needs-based financial stipend, and support to design and carry out a locally rooted pilot in their region.

If you are part of a regional partnership working in relationship with place, community, and the living world, this is an opportunity to deepen and scale that work through shared learning alongside peers across cultures, bioregions, and movements. The Living Systems Alliance are happy to be able to offer a needs-based stipend of £5,000–£10,000 per partnership to support participation and piloting, thanks to generous support from the V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation. ​
