About
The BD_Collective is a network of networks of organisations, big and small, formal and informal, coming together to build shared understanding and collective responses to social disadvantage in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. The work of the networks is diverse but is bound together by shared values. Each network:
- Connects people across civil society organisations, and engages with local residents and public services
- Builds trust between people and between organisations, encouraging talk about challenging issues
- Shares accountability for the well-being of residents across all groups that can make a contribution, and
- Shifts power from public systems to civil society, honouring its primary role in alleviating human suffering.
