Collaborating locally

With our home boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark and Westminster, we’ve identified four areas where we can do even more to serve, support and sustain our local communities: 

  • Education & attainment: ensuring everyone can aim high and reach their full potential
  • Business & enterprise: supporting the development of thriving local economies while creating opportunities for all
  • Community resilience: strengthening communities and helping them develop solutions to the problems they face
  • Health & wellbeing: improving the health and wellbeing of our communities through local partnership.

We’re building stronger relationships with local authorities and working side by side with local organisations and community leaders to develop collaborative approaches to our shared challenges. 

Bespoke statements of intent with our local boroughs identify areas for collaboration informed by their ambitions and King’s strengths.

King’s Civic Charter sets out our commitment to London and the people who live, work and study here.
