When there is a major emergency in London, the response needs to be quick, coordinated and effective.
The London Communities Emergencies Partnership (LCEP) makes this happen.
LCEP supports organisations across London during an emergency. This includes charities, community groups and faith or equality organisations. alongside statutory services. Together, we can tackle emergencies better.
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.
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 of our partners. By sharing knowledge, trends and insights, organisations know the needs of London’s communities and the risks they may face.
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 are 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.
LCEP is a partnership – co-chaired by London Plus and the VCS Emergencies Partnership.
LCEP was set up with funding from City Bridge Foundation as well as the Greater London Authority and London Councils.
LCEP is your network. Together, we can connect, learn and improve our emergency response across London in the future.
