About Us

Formed in 1997, the West London Alliance is a partnership between the local authorities of Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Hillingdon and Hounslow.

Our Commissioning Alliance Programme works across social care, education and housing.

Community

Over 2 million people live in the WLA Boroughs, with around 40 per cent born outside the UK and 28% having a first language which is not English.

Our diversity of communities, neighbourhoods and enterprises is one of our greatest assets and making the most of this to address the challenges we face relies on being open – to people, businesses, growth, new ideas and innovation.

We are committed to maintaining our openness and maximising the benefits it brings to everyone that lives, works, learns, visits and invests in West London.

Our Programmes

As WLA boroughs we work together and form partnerships to develop, drive and deliver improvements for everyone that lives, works, learns, visits and invests in West London.

An inclusive and successful West London is good for London, the whole country and if environmentally sustainable, the planet too.

To find out more about how we’re building a more inclusive, successful West London in practice, please visit our programme pages.
