With a particular focus on Community Wealth Building and links to Future Lewisham
The Council has identified four key themes for ‘Future Lewisham’, which will help to ensure that the borough not only recovers from the pandemic, but comes back stronger. One of these themes is to help provide an economically sound future for all our residents. It is something that is easy to say but challenging to deliver in these uncertain times.
Building on the success of the Lewisham Deal, a partnership entered into in July 2019 between six anchor institutions in the borough, we are aiming to maximise the social value of spending in Lewisham. We will protect and grow the borough’s small and medium enterprises and voluntary and charity sectors by spending our budget as locally as possible and, as a consequence, strengthen the value of the Lewisham Pound. We continue to increase the ambition of our Social Value Policy launched in 2019 and have committed to using the data from equality analysis assessments to focus and amplify social value from procurement. This approach will increase the local impact of every pound we spend.
