-#The Hub for London - now London Plus
-Connecting Londoners and Networked City made contributions to plans for the [Hub for London](http://www.connectinglondoners.blog/2017/new-hub-for-london-gets-350000-to-support-civil-society), the main feature of The Way Ahead plans for civil society infrastructure. The Hub has now launched as [London Plus](ttps://greaterlondonvolunteering.org.uk/london-hub/), where [it is transitioning from Greater London Volunteering](https://greaterlondonvolunteering.org.uk/london-hub/), with a team of five led by Margaret Cooney.
-**Latest**: In May 2018 the Hub advertised a Network Partners role. The recruitment pack reflects some of the ideas discussed with the Hub advisory group. [[hub:networkspartner|Details of Networks partner role at the Hub here]]. Leah Whittingham has now been appointed to the post.
-##Background
-The Way Ahead initiative, led by London Funders, LVSC and Greater London Volunteering, produced a report in April 2016 on how to reframe support for London civil society.  The main proposal in [The Way Ahead report](http://londonfunders.org.uk/sites/default/files/images/SME574%20London%20Funders%20Executive%20Summary_04.pdf) was for a new resource hub.
-> A London Hub, working with specialist support, should develop standardized resources where possible, which can be customized and delivered locally. The London Hub could be made up of a network of organisations or be a formally constituted body.
-LVSC commissioned a report on the Hub from Steve Wyler, and an advisory group was established in November 2017 to develop details. Steve Wyler's report said:
-> The Hub “should act as a convenor and enabler, rather than direct deliverer, in effect delivering change through networks and platforms, rather than through traditional organisational and membership delivery methods".
-In November 2017 the City Bridge Trust [announced first year funding of £350,000 for the Hub](http://www.connectinglondoners.blog/2017/new-hub-for-london-gets-350000-to-support-civil-society), which will be run by Greater London Volunteering. LVSC has now closed - so the Hub will be the only major pan-London organisation. LVSC previous represented some 120,000 groups and organisations.

-##Connecting Londoners and Networked City contributions
-During the Networked City exploration Connecting Londoners and Our Way Ahead have made the case to the Hub advisory group for extending the work of the Hub - with associated projects - to include development of local and pan-London networks.
-We based proposals for extending the Hub on Steve Wyler's report, and other working group reports, as well as our own work. In November 2017 we ran a "Hub game" simulation event at London Metropolitan University to play through the recommendations in the Wyler report. Following the event we proposed a Community of Practice to support extending the Hub.
-David Wilcox has been a member of TWA Task and Finish groups on Data Sharing, Triage and Connect, and Co-production - for which he [wrote a report](https://goo.gl/BdjNzU). He was a member of the Hub advisory group until February 2018.
