The Lewisham Compact is an agreement on collaborative and partnership working between Lewisham Council and the borough's voluntary and community organisations. VAL therefore actively encourages organisations and groups to sign up to the compact as part of their commitment to working with Lewisham Council to make Lewisham a better place to live, work and play.

Healthy relationships between people or organisations are built on shared values and respect - Lewisham's Compact is designed to promote a framework which ensures that voluntary sector organisations and groups are treated fairly and with respect at all times. This section therefore offers you the opportunity to better understand the purpose and the role of Lewisham Compact and to give you an opportunity to sign up to it. Our director, Martin Howie, coordinates the implementation of this work.
