community involvement
Councils are enhancing community involvement through cultural centre promotion and new operational roles.
Islington Council is committed to promoting the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration to inspire creativity and engagement among residents. In July 2026, Councillor James Potts, Executive Member for Inclusive Economy and Planning, stated the council would actively promote the centre's activities and encourage resident participation, following a question from Councillor Claire Zammit.
Hammersmith and Fulham's Wormwood Scrubs Charitable Trust Committee approved a new Head of Operations and Sustainability role in March 2026. This position, part of a pilot workforce plan for 2026/27, aims to enhance community involvement and sustainability, replacing the current Trust Manager role. The new structure is being piloted for one year.
