Capacitybuilders announces leaders of seven National Support Services

Finance | 1 Dec 2007

The NCVO is to lead two of the new government-funded National Support Services being established by Capacitybuilders to replace the controversial ChangeUp hubs. Alex Hardie reports.

As expected, the NCVO will take responsibility for the campaigning and advocacy workstream, and it has also been given control of the leadership and governance stream.

Acevo will lead income generation; the Women’s Resource Centre will lead equalities and diversity; the Media Trust will take responsibility for marketing and communications; Charities Evaluation Services will lead performance management, and Volunteering England will take on modernising volunteering. Lead providers for the two remaining Support Services, collaboration and responding to social change, have not yet been awarded.

Capacitybuilders chief executive Simon Hebditch said those organisations that had bid to run these two streams had raised issues that had not been properly considered, and so the funder needed more time to clarify “focus and priorities” around both those themes.
