About us

London Plus connects, supports and advocates for charities and community groups. Our purpose is to enable community groups and charities to make London cohesive and resilient so we can all flourish.

We work hard to support charities and community groups in London. We do this by hosting a range of networks for charities and community groups in London, as well as communicating information and insights. Working across the 32 boroughs of London, we know London charities, community groups and volunteers do extraordinary things. Acknowledging and evidencing the impact of this is vital for the future.

Charities and community groups ensure London flourishes, now and in the future. The better they do, the better we all do.

Meet Our Team

Our history

London Plus began as a pan-London initiative to champion London’s charities and community groups in 2018, under the remit of Greater London Volunteering (GLV).

Through insight, influence and powerful connection, we set forth to be the go-to place to bring about positive change for Londoners. By supporting charities and community groups in London to establish strong infrastructure and connect to one another, we knew London would be a better place for all.

In 2019, we became London Plus, the small but influential charity we are today.
