London and national partnerships

Croydon works closely with London-based and national organisations to strengthen emergency preparedness and response. These partnerships help coordinate support, share information and mobilise resources during emergencies.

By working together, voluntary, community and faith organisations can provide additional support to local communities before, during and after major incidents.

London Communities Emergencies Partnership (LCEP)

LCEP brings together voluntary, community and faith organisations across London and connects them with emergency response partners. It helps coordinate communication, shares information and supports preparedness activities across the capital.
