What is a partnership?

Royal Borough of Greenwich works in partnership with many local and regional agencies and organisations.

We work in partnership with other organisations to improve our capacity to deliver services to you.

This also helps to ensure that our services work well with other public services in the local area.

  • The partnership uses sports and arts to build links within communities.

    It creates platforms for interaction and communication between groups and individuals who might not otherwise have associated with each other. This helps to build positive relationships and a sense of community.

    The project, established in 1992, is now managed by Charlton Athletic Community Trust. The Royal Borough and Charlton Athletic Football Club chair the advisory group, which directs the partnership.

  • The team was set up following the government's Tackling Drugs Together white paper in 1995. It involves key local organisations, at chief officer level, working with local authorities.

    Members:
