Overview of the Hub game here >

These were the pre-prepared ideas that we offered to participants. Others were developed during play of the game.

• New peer support systems including knowledge and skills exchange visits between groups and organisations and regular meet ups
• A ‘Lifeboat’ scheme, where expert assistance with small grants can help organisations in difficulty turn themselves around.
• A ‘co-production offer’ – whereby groups of local residents, service-users etc would be identified and supported to engage in co-production exercises with statutory bodies and others wishing to apply co-production methodologies.
• A social prescribing London platform through which health and care professionals help people find advice and support in their local communities, and more widely.
• A consultancy pool of the most skilled and respected civil society leaders in London, markets its offer across sectors, and generates income for civil society activities.
• A corporate volunteering brokerage scheme helps central London companies support volunteering by employees who live right across London.
• Meeting rooms and conferencing facilities marketed to voluntary organisations and others with a central booking system.

Every idea has its own page … follow the “More on …” link below each one. Addition ideas at the bottom of this page.
