Host Boroughs' Unit
Partnership Commitment
Diversity of the third sector
As diverse as the communities we serve, there is an estimated 6,500 voluntary and community sector organisations and approximately 1500 social enterprises operating in the five host borough, often at the forefront, inspiring community delivered solutions, helping to alleviate poverty, disadvantage, and create a more robust and better function third sector in East London.
Harnessing this expertise can often be seen as a challenge to our statutory partners who for the most part, don’t quite understand the complex nature of the sector, leaving them baffled about who to talk to first and who does what and how to engage with the sector sub regionally.
