This year the Dream Fund is looking for projects that seek to implement systemic change in order to address an important social or environmental problem.

It is intended to provide space to re-think the system (or parts of the system), test change and implement new ways of working.
We will hold an all-day event in Glasgow on Monday 21st October to support organisations who may be interested in applying to the second round of the Challenge Fund. We hope you will be able to join us.
