Liaison
To
effectively develop and maintain links with a wide range of voluntary
and community organisations. These include user organisations and those
representing the diverse communities which exist within the area.
In addition HAVCO’s task is to promote cross-sector relationships including those with the relevant local authority departments, the health authority and other public agencies working in Havering.
Enabling representation
As an independent, non-party political organisation HAVCO has a particular role in enabling the local voluntary and community sector to present its views to local authorities and other public agencies.
We are involved in setting up local committees and forums to discuss how this can best be achieved.
