Centering Voices of Marginalised Communities in London’s Crisis Response

We are excited to announce that London Resilience has commissioned Protection Approaches to establish a new Equalities Partnership within the London Resilience Forum.

This partnership will provide a space for equity-focused and equality-led organisations to shape how London plans for and responds to emergencies and crises in a manner that centres the perspectives and needs of various marginalised communities in London.

Emergencies – from the COVID-19 pandemic to flooding, terror incidents, fire, or the cost-of-living crisis – do not affect all communities equally. People already facing structural inequality often face the greatest harms. The Equalities Partnership will work to ensure that community expertise informs city-wide emergency planning, and that equity organisations are supported as strategic partners in building a more resilient London.

If your group works primarily with marginalised communities, communities who face additional barriers at times of crisis, or individuals with protected characteristics as defined in the Equalities Act, you can feed into what the Equalities Partnership will look like and how it will work.

You can share your perspective with the Protection Approaches team by:

It’s Wonderful Knowing That You Can Help a Child Transform Their Future

It’s so motivating to think about the far-reaching effects of what we do. By working with children at a key time in their development, we help them set themselves up for a more successful, happier life. With their mentors, TKN children are able to: 

Go on adventures that help them develop confidence
Rely on a grown-up who’s there to listen to them
Build tools that they’ll use in the future

We want every child who wants a mentor to have one. Can you help us by volunteering, donating or partnering with us as a school?  

Whether you’re interested in becoming a mentor, you want to refer a pupil from your school, or you’d like to learn more about all the different ways people raise money to help us deliver our programming – our website has all the details – The Kids Network
