In episode 7 of 9 Miles East, Kate Harmatz, Head of Fundraising at BD Giving, Amir Rizwan, a social investment expert, and Julian Corner, CEO of Lankelly Chase Foundation, came together for a conversation about making investment more democratic.

Barking and Dagenham has been on quite a journey over the years. From a thriving industry hub, to a deprived borough full of tension and division, and emerging as a place where civil society are taking a participatory approach to decision-making and funding.

Kate, Amir and Julian discuss what conditions and attributes made that change possible. And Julian opens up about the inspiration he found walking alongside the people of Barking & Dagenham.
