Dear Members

Since London Learning Consortium’s inception in 2005 we have specialised in supporting small

and medium sized businesses within the Third Sector, this continues to be our focus now. As we

grow and evolve we are determined to provide the very best support to our members.

This year we are introducing a number of new services exclusively available to LLC members. These services are designed to be innovative, cost e� ective and to provide development opportunities that help you meet the challenges of the future.

In order to provide added value to your business, we o� er two levels of membership. Each membership package has a variety of bene� ts associated with it, their value re� ected in their respective cost. We believe that this new framework will bene� t our members and ensure they have a competitive edge in these tough economic times.

I hope you � nd the services enclosed in the following pages helpful and I look forward to working with you to achieve your aims.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Je� eryChief Executive
