Corporate plan theme 4: The place that’s healthy and fair

Outcome 2: Greenwich is a welcoming place where people belong

We will:

  • make sure everyone feels they belong, has an equal chance to thrive and can access the support they need
  • provide accessible services to our residents and foster good relations within and between our communities
  • back community-led events using our parks, venues and civic occasions to bring people together across cultures, faiths and histories that make up Greenwich
  • provide support in a way that gives everyone a fair opportunity to achieve similar outcomes and work with partners and communities across the borough to make this real and challenging hate and division
  • remain a place of welcome and sanctuary for those who need it

Our commitments

We commit to:

  • working with our voluntary and community sector to support refugees and people seeking asylum to settle and thrive here
  • making the borough a fairer and more inclusive place
  • making Greenwich an age-friendly borough, working with older residents to shape a place that works well at every stage of life
  • making sure support reaches those most at risk by improving reporting and working with community organisations, public services and enforcement bodies to prevent hate crime, support victims and promote inclusivity
