The Compact with the Voluntary and Community Sector

The Compact is how we work. It has values and principles that guide the council's relationship with the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS).

There is a national Compact adopted by the government. Most local authorities have their own compacts with the VCS in their area. Other public bodies often sign up to their local compact. In Tower Hamlets, the council and the VCS agreed on a revised Compact in March 2018.

The council is committed to working with local communities and organisations. This commitment helps people in Tower Hamlets feel confident that their views are valued and respected. It also ensures that the council and the VCS work together to bring about change.
