Join the Partnership

Membership is open to London-based or London-focused organisations or collectives whose primary purpose is to support, represent, or advocate for people and communities experiencing discrimination, disadvantage or exclusion linked to one or more protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010, and who meet the following criteria:

• Work directly with communities and/or are led by people with lived experience of marginalisation.
• Are willing to share insights from lived experience and engage before, during and after emergencies to ensure marginalised groups are supported and centred in LRF efforts.
• Share a commitment to equity, inclusion, intersectionality, anti-discrimination and human rights for all.
• Are willing to agree to the Partnership’s terms of reference, including the code of conduct.

Why should I join as a member?

Joining the Equalities Partnership enables you to shape how London prepares for and responds to emergencies, ensuring that the perspectives, priorities and needs of marginalised groups in the city remain central to this endeavour. Membership also supports greater  engagement with London Resilience infrastructure and other equalities  groups.

What will I be expected to do if I join as a member?

The Partnership recognises that equalities organisations have  different capacities and constraints. Membership is flexible and  non-prescriptive, with no minimum level of engagement required. In addition to quarterly meetings and communications, members may access optional capacity-building opportunities such as training, peer learning, scenario planning, or support to engage more effectively with the resilience system.
