London Civic Forum leads civic participation in London by enabling and challenging London’s governing agencies and institutions to use the valuable insight and experience of local communities.
Simultaneously, London Civic Forum brings power closer to the people by clarifying the roles of, and relationships between, governing bodies and helping citizens take a more active role in influencing the decisions made in their communities.
London Civic Forum is a membership organisation currently comprised of 1300 full member organisations and associate individual members, from London’s private, public and not-for-profit sectors.
We count within our membership a wide range of community organisations, black, asian and minority ethnic groups, faith groups, disabled people’s organisations, young people’s organisations, older people’s groups, disabled people’s groups and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people’s groups. Our members are based across all of Greater London in every London borough.
Our members include colleges, hospitals, trade unions, chambers of commerce, large corporates, small consultancies, advice providers, campaign groups, big charities, local strategic partnerships, community policy consultative groups, training providers, helplines, museums, libraries, theatres, city farms, housing associations and social enterprises.
We work in partnership with other umbrella or second tier organisations in London and maintain close relationships with institutions that have responsibility for the governance of London. We meet face to face and in virtual space. We are open to all, and we grow only through your involvement with us.
