At the end of a busy year, it has been helpful to pause, look back, and reflect on what we have learned, and our plans for the year ahead.

LCEP’s critical role in London’s resilience ecosystem has been highlighted by a number of evaluations and impact reports this year, demonstrating the value that our partners and stakeholders place on our work.

In the year ahead, we look forward to working with our partners, existing and new, to build a resilience system that is centered on the needs of London’s communities and ready for any challenge London may face

The London Communities Emergencies Partnership plays a key role in shaping London’s strategic approach to resilience, championing a people‑centred model and advocating for meaningful community engagement.🤝

We recognise that systems change takes time, however by convening cross-sector leadership and ensuring community perspectives shape decision-making, LCEP continues to shift how resilience is understood, planned for, and practiced across London.

Ensuring that London’s diverse communities are included in emergency planning,
response, and recovery is key to building a resilient city.

This year, we have focused on influencing the strategic approach to resilience in London, emphasising a people-centred approach and the importance of engaging
communities meaningfully in resilience work.

In the LCEP 2025 Impact Report, 86% of partners agreed that their understanding of how to plan for the needs of disproportionately impacted communities in emergencies has improved, up from 57% in 2024 ⬆️

Tackling emergencies can be daunting, but by strengthening our partners’ skills, knowledge and capabilities, we help ensure they are better prepared to respond effectively.

We gather learning from emergency responses and share it widely, supporting partners to apply lessons in practice and strengthen future responses. In doing so, we help communities to not only respond in the present, but also learn and prepare
for future emergencies🚨

In our LCEP 2025 Impact Report, partners reported improvements in their confidence to prepare for emergencies, with agreement increasing from 59% in 2024 to 82% in 2025🌟

Sharing knowledge and insight is a key focus of our work at LCEP- this helps our partners better understand the needs of London’s communities and the risks they may face.

We share information through a range of channels, ensuring our partners have the information they need to act quickly, collaboratively, and effectively. 📢

In our LCEP 2025 Impact Report, partners reported accessing unique insights through LCEP that informed action and that they valued our focus on equalities and disproportionately impacted communities.

At LCEP, we work closely with our partners to build and maintain strong relationships, ensuring that the right connections and relationships are in place before they are needed.

In our 2025 Impact Report, partners highlighted LCEP’s role as a connector and convenor, helping them build and maintain meaningful links across the resilience system. 🤝

Feeling more connected has been integral in increasing partners’ confidence about knowing where to turn in an emergency.🚨

We are delighted to share the London Communities Emergencies Partnership 2025 Impact Report🙌

When LCEP was established, we set out to do things differently.

Our ambition was to build trust, networked knowledge, inclusion, and compassion - placing people rather than agencies at the heart of emergency planning, response, and recovery.

Now in our third full year of operation, it has been heartening to see the progress made. We are grateful to all our partners, including London Boroughs Faiths Network, London Resilience, Greater London Authority, City Bridge Foundation, London Funders, Protection Approaches, British Red Cross and many more for their ongoing support and contribution to our collective effort.

🌟 Story Spotlight 🌟

Croydon Voluntary Action

As part of COVID-19 Day of Reflection, we’re looking back at our Tales of Covid report- highlighting the charities and community groups across London who worked tirelessly to keep the city going.👇️

In the early weeks of lockdown, most councils were not yet equipped to support vulnerable residents, such as elderly and low-income residents who would normally rely on frequent trips to local shops and kept little excess food at home. CVA stepped in and quickly established food hubs, recruiting volunteers to deliver essential supplies to those in need.

Within weeks, 600 volunteers had signed up 🙌.
Their willingness to take on unconventional and unexpected tasks showed what community truly means in times of crisis.

This blog, taken from our Tales of Covid report, looks at Croydon Voluntary Action and their multifaceted support during the pandemic.
