Support for voluntary and community organisations

We recognise the need to provide support for the voluntary and community sector (VCS) and the wider Third Sector in the borough.

Centre for Independent Living in Lambeth

Centres for Independent Living aim to support and empower disabled people to be equal citizens with independence, choice, control, rights and full participation in economic, social and cultural life. They use the 'social model of disability' to identify disabling attitudes and barriers, and to strive to remove them.

Health and wellbeing voluntary and community sector forum

We host a forum for voluntary and community sector organisations who provide, or are interested in, the health and wellbeing of Lambeth's residents. 

Lambeth community fund

The Lambeth Community Fund (LCF) is an exciting new charitable venture set up to support the borough today and long into the future responding to the changing needs of local people.

The Lambeth Compact

The Lambeth Compact is an agreement that shapes and influences relationships between the voluntary and community sector and statutory sector partners in Lambeth.

Gifts database management system

Gifts is an internal database management system which is being developed to minimise the administrative burden for contact management across the council.

The system is intended to inform residents and organisations with relevant communication, consultation, available funding and events of interest. The system will be developed in collaboration with partners and in the longer term, aims to provide wider access for individual organisations.
