Support for social purpose organisations
Southwark Local Access Partnership supports social purpose organisations, social enterprises and charities
The Southwark Local Access Partnership aims to support social purpose organisations led by those from underrepresented groups to:
- drive innovative solutions to local problems
- create jobs
- enhance Southwark’s local economy
The Southwark LAP aims to tackle the key barriers to starting and growing a social purpose organisation by providing business support opportunities over the next few years.
The collective vision and ambition for the Southwark LAP is to:
- build capacity, skills, community, connections and support across our social ecosystem
- tackle entrenched social issues in Southwark
- widen the diversity of those who own, start up, and are employed by social enterprises and charities in Southwark
