Breakfast meeting: Wednesday 10th September 2008, 08.15 for 08.45
The Thames Gateway London Partnership (TGLP) is pleased to announce a breakfast meeting launch of Providing Services Beyond Housing: Housing Associations as Third Sector Enablers. The case-study based research examines the increasingly significant role of the social-housing sector as “place shapers” and anchors of sustainable community development in the Thames Gateway one of the government’s designated growth areas.
This study, carried out by Rocket Science, focuses on the activities of associations that go beyond the provision of housing services in order to support the wider Third Sector’s contribution to community economic development. The report’s findings and recommendations are pertinent to both the housing and third sectors, as well as the range of partners working at local and regional level on the social and economic future of the Gateway.

- Belinda Porich – Chief Executive of the London Housing Federation
- Rona Nicholson – London Field Director of the Housing Corporation
- Elizabeth Balgobin – Chief Executive of London Voluntary Service Council
