The group is made up of local, regional and national organisations from the voluntary, community and faith sector with volunteering at the heart of their work, as well as key London-wide bodies such as the Greater London Authority (GLA) and London Councils.

We are keen for the membership to reflect the breadth of London’s volunteering sector and to represent London’s diverse communities.

Whether you are interested in our data and research projects or have something to share, we’d love to hear from you!

Check out this video for more information on the vision and purpose of this group –

The group’s collective vision is to create a society where everyone feels they own and contribute to their community.

The group seeks to:

Better connect on the issues that cross or organisational boundaries, particularly in times of crisis
Better connect on the issues that cross or organisational boundaries, particularly in times of crisis
Raise the profile of the voluntary sector and its infrastructure, for it to be seen as an integral partner in community resilience and resourced accordingly

The group has created the London’s Lifelines website to celebrate and promote volunteering in London. It next aims to collaboratively explore what is needed for volunteering in London to develop and thrive, and to support the wider sector to develop a strategic framework to achieve this, or ‘Vision for Volunteering’ for London.
