The Kensington and Chelsea Compact Implementation Group are helping to guarantee that services provided by the voluntary and community sector are sustainable, with relationships remaining strong during a period of change.
The commitment shown to its partnership with the voluntary and community sector (VCS) by the London Borough of Lewisham aspires to more than just working together. It recognises that where the sectors work in true partnership their priorities become mutual and the boundaries between them become less distinct.
The relationship between Watford Borough Council and the voluntary and community sector groups it funds is built on openness and trust, which has ensured that their partnership has survived despite facing the full force of the financial storm.
