We’ll be delivering this work through nine key work streams:

• Involve – getting communities involved in co-producing an understanding of need and what must happen to make Lewisham better, stronger and more sustainable;
• Introduce – understanding and connecting people, groups and formal organisations – bringing people together to achieve change;
• Initiate – identifying needs and encouraging others to act – sparking collaborations and starting discussions to get solutions;
• Incubate – providing seedbed space (physical and intellectual) for emerging groups to tackle new and changing needs;
• Inspire – showcasing excellence, developing new ideas, sharing learning from within and outside Lewisham;
• Invest – equipping civil society with the skills, knowledge and resources to make a difference;
• Inform – sharing data on needs and policy developments with Lewisham groups, and out to local decision makers and the London Hub;
• Influence – championing the role of the sector, the needs and strengths of local communities, and helping strategic people make better decisions; and
• Innovate – be a centre of excellence for civil society support, piloting new ways of working to achieve positive change.
