Working with Lankelly Chase
We worked with the Generative Journalism Alliance in 2024-5 to collect stories from grantees, collaborators, funder peers, ex-trustees and team members.
We weren’t trying to create a representative sample, more a sense of how Lankelly was experienced by people who encountered us in different ways over the years. We couldn’t interview everyone we’ve worked with, and we apologise to anyone who is not represented here and would have liked to be included.
