Southwark Local Access Partnership:
Support and training for local social enterprises and entrepreneurs in Southwark.

Programme Launches May 2025

What is Southwark Local Access Partnership?

The Southwark Local Access Partnership aims to support the development of social organisations led by those from underrepresented groups in Southwark. 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”

What do we offer?

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.
