March Local Wellbeing Network Meeting – North Locality

Our Vision

We are a collaborative network which shares resources to amplify the voice of residents and unlock their power to respond to community needs through collective action.

As part of Islington Council’s ‘Fairer Together’ initiative, Voluntary Action Islington and Octopus Community Networks have established Local Wellbeing Networks (LWN) throughout the borough. This is born out of the council’s ambition to increase collaboration between services and provide a community voice platform.

The networks consist of statutory service providers, charities, community groups and residents, all of whom have committed to taking a more active role in their local community, sharing best practices and collaborating for positive social change.

This is developed in each locality (North, Central & South) and takes the form of bi-monthly meetings hosted by a rotating network member. This meeting is open to anyone working or living in the area. It provides a platform to discuss concerns or share ideas on how we, as citizens, can work together and achieve positive social change.
