London Councils is the collective voice for London local government. It seeks to be an influential advocate for the interests of boroughs, promoting both councils’ leadership of their places and of a broad range of public services on behalf of their localities. London Councils fights for the resources, powers and freedoms that boroughs need to play that role.

The London Councils Grants scheme is funded and governed by the 32 London Boroughs and the Corporation of London. Leaders’ Committee sets the overall funding strategies, policies and priorities for grants to voluntary organisations. Decisions on individual commissions, funding of applications and operation are made by the Grants Committee.
