Community of Practice Summer Gathering

  • 10th Jun 2026
  • 10:00 am
  • The Melting Pot 15 Calton Road Edinburgh EH8 8DL

As our first cohort enters their third year of membership in the TYT Community of Practice, the theme for our second annual Summer Gathering is Moving Forward with Courage. Trusts and Foundations are operating in an environment that is becoming increasingly polarised, especially around issues of racial and economic justice. During this Summer Gathering, we will provide space for peer learning and bring community insights to support members to navigate these tensions and find practical solutions to move forward with courage.

The agenda for the day is below for your information. It will be updated as it continues to be shaped and speakers are confirmed. If you haven’t signed up to join us yet, please do so here.
