The document discusses the London Voluntary and Community Services (LVSC) organization, which has championed and supported London's voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector since 1910. LVSC provides networking opportunities, conferences, training events, and other resources for its over 5,600 network members. It aims to create an information hub about social action in London and produces reports on issues impacting the sector. LVSC also works to build the capacity of organizations, deliver social change, and act as a strong voice for the sector through events, campaigns and partnerships.
The Central West London Training and Employment Network brings together Voluntary sector providers working in training and skills across 12 London boroughs. Its chair Clarissa Stoneham outlines how LVSC's VCS Assist project helped the network providing advice, timely information on funding/commissioning, and a platform for networking and collaboration on events.
Londoners, work and the voluntary and community sector (VCSE)
The VCSE sector plays an important role in employability provision, delivering integrated, specialist
services that providers in other sectors will not or cannot deliver. However, reduced funding and increased demand has led to a protracted period of significant instability for the sector.
Many organisations have responded to these pressures proactively. However, there is a serious danger that the more VCSE organisations focus on revenue generation, the more they will lose the distinctive characteristics which make them effective providers. Most concerning of all is the evidence of VCSE organisations closing or scaling back services, leading to greater levels of unmet need.
Stonewall Housing CEO Bob Green describes the support LVSC provided to help his organisation raise awareness of LGBGT community needs in health and housing in London.
Within the interfaith organisation Faith MAtters, the Tell MAMA project measrues and monitors specifically anti - Muslim hate incidents and crimes. One of Jeff Arnold's responsibilites is to develop partnerships across all sectors - particularly with those voluntar organisations providing support to victims and witnesses of crime. Jeff explains the support and impact LVSC's forum The London Vicims and Witness Alliance provided.

The rolling out of proper company level work-life supports and policies is key in creating high-performing work cultures. Check out our below infographic in which we summarise the main factors that could influence work-life balance initiatives.
The dacadoo Health Score visualizes your current health and well-being with a personal Health Score, a scientifically calculated number from 1 (low) to 1,000 (high). The score moves up or down in real-time, depending on how your body values, emotional wellbeing, and lifestyle (exercise, nutrition, stress and sleep) change.
When tracked over time, it offers a good indicator of how your health and well-being is evolving. Please note that it is not a medical diagnostic tool and therefore does not substitute the diagnosis of your medical professional.
Empowering you to manage your own health and well-being has obvious benefits to you but is it possible to put a value on health and well-being? Using data from commonly used measures, such as weight, blood pressure, steps, etc. it is indeed possible to calculate an overall health score.

The dacadoo Health Score is based on many million person-years of clinical data and it has been developed by dacadoo in collaboration with a professor and former long-term scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston.
Just like your FICO score or your credit score determines your credit worthiness based on your financial assets and activities, your Health Score measures your overall health and wellbeing based on your body makeup and your lifestyle (exercise, sleep, stress, nutrition and emotions). But, there is also one major difference, your Health Score is designed for you – to motivate and engage you for your own wellbeing.
The London Voluntary Service Council (LVSC) has released a manifesto for the new London Mayor to recognise and value the VCSE sector.
For London to lock in and leverage these economic, social and personal benefits the VCSE sector needs a workable plan built around the following proposals:
Ensure that the VCSE sector is recognised and included in GLA policy and delivery
Co-produce a London VCSE strategy
Collaborate on the implementation of equalities practice
Innovate GLA commissioning and procurement
Facilitate private sector donations to VCSE groups
Embed the benefits of digital technology.

Accelerating engagement with local communities 310119Kathryn Geels
Here is the session I ran at the Behind Local News conference in Leicester, 31 January 2019. I spoke about the Engaged Journalism Accelerator, what we've learnt to date from our grantees and other engaged journalism organisations in Europe, and what representatives from established regional press in the UK can learn, take onboard and take back to their teams.
The UCISA Annual Review highlights the progress we have made as a community in the last year, as we work to achieve the ambitions set out in our Strategic Plan 2022-27 – Building on Success, published in January this year.
Write up of the first of two hustings on the London Mayoral campaign. Homelessness; Housing; Digital Disadvantage; Hate Crime; Disenfranchising Young People; and questions around levels of support from the New Mayor and the London Assembly were up for discussion.
