One Westminster

Who we are

One Westminster exists to serve the voluntary sector and volunteering in the City of Westminster.

We support more than 300 Westminster voluntary and community organisations to deliver their services by providing funding, governance, partnership and other relevant information and advice.  Through our networks, we bring the sector's organisations together to ensure their concerns are raised and their voice is heard.

We also run the Westminster Volunteer Centre linking volunteers to local organisations and working with the City Council's Westminster Connects service, identifying and promoting volunteering opportunties.

Our corporate brokerage programme links businsses and Government departments to the local sector.

We now deliver a highly effective Social Prescribing service alongside local Westminster GPs, linking patients to voluntary sector and other community support.

We operate a hybrid model with staff working from home and out of our centrally located premises on the Harrow Road near Royal Oak Tube Station.

Our culture and values

One Westminster is an independent, professional, resourceful, bold and aspirational organisation. 

Our staff, trustees and volunteers are diverse, inclusive and passionate. We operate collaboratively and transparently.  We are committed to genuine diversity and equality and to using our expertise to empower individuals and our local community.
