What we do

The voluntary and community sector (VCS) makes a huge contribution to the lives of Londoners, providing a range of services and support to the capital's diverse communities.

LVSC brings together London's voluntary and community sector organisations to learn and share best practice and to create a co-ordinated voice to influence policy makers on issues affecting Londoners.
