Westminster Capacitybuilders' Consortium

The Westminster Capacitybuilders' Consortium is a network of second tier and frontline voluntary and community organisations and public sector bodies.

The consortium supports the voluntary and community sector to be independent, influential, skilled, thriving, entrepreneurial, coordinated in its joint efforts, as well as to meet national and London-wide standards to assure quality of services.

Current members are as follows:

  • Jackie Rosenberg, Paddington Development Trust
  • Yvonne Watkins-Knight, Westminster Community Network
  • Jasmin Bukic, Migrant Resource Centre
  • Gareth Owen, Volunteer Centre Westminster
  • Bernard Collier – Voluntary Action Westminster
  • Tom Fitch – Community Accountancy and Self-Help
  • Steve Cox – NHS Westminster
  • Pete Westmore – NHS Westminster
  • Taryn Dilly – Westminster City Council
  • Alan Price – Westminster Boating Base
  • Aubyn Graham – Westminster Refugee Consortium
  • Angela Wilson – Voluntary Action Westminster (facilitator)

The consortium meets 4-5 times per year and agrees how to jointly tackle emerging needs for the voluntary and community sector In Westminster.

Recent successes include the joint application to the Big Lottery to provide advanced level organisational development services and wider engagement with the VCS (this guide is funded through this project!); co-ordinated efforts to address emerging needs of the sector in the recession (see the VAW website for a copy of “The Recession Yet to Come” – a report that details this work); and a jointly delivered project to support volunteer managers.
