The Compact
The Hammersmith and Fulham Compact outlines the Council's commitment to the voluntary and community sectors.  

Many local voluntary and community groups contributed their time and knowledge in developing this document, which aims to guide you through the ways that statutory, voluntary and private sector groups will work together in years to come.

The aim of the Compact is to strengthen the council's relationship with the voluntary and community sectors through a detailed action plan that has been jointly agreed.
