The VCS Emergencies Partnership and London Plus have brought together organisations across the voluntary and community sector in London to support more effective responses to emergencies, creating the London Communities Emergencies Partnership.
Sharing knowledge and insight
London has faced several emergencies in recent years, which, as a sector, we have learnt a lot from. LCEP makes sure this learning is shared widely for the benefit of all our partners.
By sharing knowledge, trends and insights, organisations know the needs of London’s communities and the risks they may face.
Building trusted connections
We work closely with our partners to build and maintain strong relationships, ensuring we all have the right connections and relationships before we need them.
By facilitating open and transparent connections among partners to exchange knowledge and resources, we ensure a state of collective readiness, empowering London’s communities with the tools to effectively manage and recover from crises.
Strengthening preparedness
Tackling an emergency can be daunting, but by supporting organisations to enhance their skills and capabilities, everyone can be better prepared.
We make sure learning from responses is gathered, shared and implemented to strengthen future responses. In doing so, we help communities to not only respond in the present, but also learn and prepare for future emergencies.

It also needs organisations with expertise in emergency response as well as charities and groups with vital local knowledge about communities who can apply this when an emergency strikes…
