The London Communities Emergencies Partnership recently hosted their winter preparedness workshop for the voluntary and community sector in London. It took place on Wednesday 9th November.
It was in partnership with the Greater London Authority. The workshop covered a range of topics regarding potential winter emergencies.

Greater London Authority Cost of Living Response [Transcript]
The Greater London Authority’s Financial Hardship team want to understand the training needs that community partners across London have related to supporting Londoners with cost-of-living issues. This could include training which –
- Allows frontline workers to feel more confident in supporting Londoners with simple cost of living-related issues
- Supports frontline workers to look after the physical and mental wellbeing of staff in the workplace
- Covers safeguarding policies and processes and strategies to deal with tense, abusive or violent situations
Please fill out the expression of Interest form (voluntary and community organisations only)
Once they have received responses, they will see if there are common training needs across multiple organisations that are not currently being met. They will then work to match organisations with training providers.
