The bonus is that joining in will help your health and well being too.

Get involved in your local MVP

You can decide how involved you would like to be. There are different ways of participating depending on your interest and available time.

Advice services help improve health

We lead two consortia of grass roots community organisations that deliver advice from GP practices – in Hackney and Tower Hamlets. This is so medical services can focus on medicine – assured that their patients can access advice and support for a wide range of problems that also affect patients health.

Serviced Office Space

If you would like an office base in Hackney, just two minutes walk from London Fields and one minute from Mare Street we have a fantastic, newly refurbished space that we invite you to share with us.
