- Big Squeeze 2013This year we are planning to undertake our annual Big Squeeze survey in September 2013. We will be collecting data about the effects of the recession and subsequent policy decisions on Londoners and the voluntary and community sector groups that work with them. This year we are also keen to look at the impacts of welfare reforms in London.
- Safer Future Communities LondonThe London Safer Future Communities VCSE network is a forum for voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations with an interest in criminal justice, crime prevention and/or community safety issues. Read the network's recent consultation responses to 'Transforming Rehabilitation' and the draft London Police & Crime Plan
- JobsLondon Voluntary Service Council (LVSC) is looking for additional Board members to lead the organisation into its second century. This is a great opportunity to contribute to strategic leadership in an influential regional charity.
- VCS AssistVCS Assist is a new programme of free organisational support for London's VCS employment and skills providers, launching in October 2012.
- Benefit reform in LondonThe Government's welfare reform proposals will impact disproportionately on the most vulnerable Londoners. As private sector rents continue to rise, more and more neighbourhoods in the capital are becoming unaffordable to households claiming benefits.
- Work Programme in LondonLVSC has launched a second report, examining the involvement of specialist voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations in delivering the government’s Work Programme.
LVSC's annual review is now available to read online. The publication outlines LVSC's key achievements throughout the year and what we hope to achieve in the future.
In spite of fresh challenges, LVSC's commitment to voicing the concerns of London's most marginalised and disadvantaged communities remains absolute.
