As the government’s priorities change, how do we make sure equality and diversity stay at the centre of work on engaging communities? And how do we deliver work that matters with radically reduced budgets?

LEP and LCF have been working to empower marginalised groups for the last 10 years. The HEAR Network works to place equality and human rights issues at the heart of the work of London's voluntary and community sector.

Join us to hear about what we've learned, and to debate the best way to make sure everyone gets the same chance in our changing city.

Speakers include:

Vivienne Hayes, Chief Executive, Women’s Resource Centre
Elizabeth Henry, Chief Executive, Race on the Agenda
Sarah Crowther, Director, Refugees in Active and Effective Partnership
Ashok Viswanathan, Deputy Director, Operation Black Vote.

This event is for local authorities and VCS organisations. To find out more or to RSVP please contact Claire: claire@londoncivicforum.org.uk or call 0208 709 9781.
