We’re inviting 1,000 people who live, work or study in Camden to apply to join our Diversity Panel to help us decide how £2 million is invested in local businesses run by a diverse group of people.
We’re especially keen to welcome applications from people who:
- are d/Deaf or disabled
- are from a Black, Asian or other ethnic community
- have a low income or receive benefits
- run a business
This is because people who meet one or more of the criteria have often found it difficult to access finance under traditional models.
Whether you’ve never done anything like this before, or you’re already active in your community — we want to hear from you.

All participants will be compensated for their involvement. The panel will run from September 2025 to July 2026 and panellists will meet regularly depending on their level of involvement online and / or in person.
For more information about the panel and application process, including payments, please read our FAQs.
The online application form takes around 10 minutes to complete and must be submitted by Wednesday 6 August.
You can also visit any Camden library to collect a paper copy of the application form from the reception desk.
