This initiative is part of the council’s "Embrace Change Portfolio" programme, focusing on community power and capacity building in regions such as Harlesden and Kensal Green, Stonebridge, and Roundwood.

By engaging in this process, businesses can enhance their profile in the public sector, develop meaningful community programmes, and establish themselves as key contributors to local government initiatives promoting empowerment and inclusive community engagement.
