In February 2020, The Ubele Initiative was appointed as the GLA’s Black Asian Minority Ethnic infrastructure partner, giving us the opportunity to strengthen the collective capacity of the sector.
A significant challenge is the absence of borough-wide infrastructure organisations in all but one borough – Croydon – and our work will focus initially on building relationships with emerging organisations, providing capacity strengthening support and identifying shared policy priorities for coordinated action.
Our aim is to work with Croydon, Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Haringey, Newham using a social lab approach to design and iterate local interventions provides capacity strengthening support and identifying shared policy priorities for coordinated action and contributes to London Covid-19 Recovery Missions.
