The Consortium meets regularly to develop its work and employs a Co-ordinator to deliver its activities thanks to funding from the Hadley Trust.
These organisations are:
British Urban Regeneration Association (BURA)
Promoting best practice in regeneration, BURA is the leading independent organisation for urban regeneration in the UK. It was formed in 1990 to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, experience and information for the emerging regeneration sector. BURA is the leading independent organisation in the field of regeneration.
Community Links is an innovative inner city charity running community-based projects in east London. Founded in 1977, we now help over 50,000 vulnerable children, young people and adults every year, with most of our work delivered in Newham, one of the poorest boroughs in Europe. Our successes influence both community-based organisations nationwide and government policy.
The Development Trusts Association's aim is a successful development trust in every community. There are over 450 development trusts across the UK, all community owned and led. They cultivate enterprise and build assets; and secure community prosperity - creating wealth in communities and keeping it there.
The National Community Forum comprises 24 community activists who work on neighbourhood renewal issues in deprived neighbourhoods. They act as a sounding board to the Department for Communities and Local Government’s civil servants and ministers, by providing a communities perspective on government programmes for ‘disadvantaged’ people and communities.
Slivers-of-Time provides an online marketplace of local people selling their "Slivers-of-Time" and local employers buying top-up workers as required. Millions of hours go unsold in the British economy every day. The individuals who have that unused time badly want to sell. They want the extra cash, skills and selfesteem. Employers want to buy. Supply and demand is so complex that the market for irregular hour-by-hour working barely exists.
