Capacitybuilders hires operating officer to oversee its closure

Governance | Vibeka Mair | 1 Nov 2010

Ann Sanders has taken the role as Capacitybuilders’ chief operating officer to see it through to closure at the end of March 2011.

Sanders, who has held senior roles at the Big Lottery Fund and New Opportunities Fund, will oversee the delivery of capacitybuilders’ ongoing business responsibilities and the wind-down and closure of the organisation.

Capacitybuilders was set up in 2006 to lead the previous government’s £231m ChangeUp programme, created to strengthen the voluntary sector’s infrastructure.

It was culled by the coalition government last month as part of its review of government quangos.

Civil society minister Nick Hurd has already announced that he will launch a consultation soon on the future shape of sector infrastructure.

Capacitybuilders will have disbursed around £150m of government funding to the sector during its existence.
