The Southwark Local Access Partnership aims to support the development of social organisations led by underrepresented groups in Southwark, with a particular focus on women-led and ethnic minority-led organisations. We work to remove the barriers to funding and support that social organisations often face to help create a more diverse and inclusive local economy.
Our vision: “A collaborative, sustainable and diverse social economy, which delivers positive social impact and a better future for all Southwark’s residents”
As part of our commitment to equity and inclusion, the programme actively prioritises women-led and ethnic minority-led organisations, ensuring they have equitable access to support, resources, and funding.
The Southwark LAP programme is a specialised development programme that supports social organisations led by those from underrepresented groups. If you are planning to grow your trading income, our programme will support you to develop the key skills needed to create a resilient, growing organisation. In some instances, this will be supported by grant finance to support plans towards growth and sustainability.
