Last week we celebrated the official launch of London Plus. Margaret (CEO, London Plus) spoke about our work at London Plus and what this will look like in the year ahead. If you were unable to attend the launch please read this blog to see what Margaret had to say about London Plus.
Small voluntary sector organisations play an important role for London’s residents. Working at a ‘hyper local’ level, often run by volunteers and with very little public funding they are a lifeline to communities that public bodies see as ‘hard to reach’ and are able to achieve a significant impact for the individuals they support.
London Plus are working with Pilotlight to support two Voluntary Sector Consortia as part of a development programme addressing the growth of consortium working by infrastructure organisations in London.
Welcome to our first ebulletin from the London Plus team. This month we introduce you to our new employment and skills policy lead Rayhan Haque.
