Local Older People’s charity, Age Concern Westminster, has been confirmed as continuing to meet the Investors in People standard.

Age Concern Westminster first became an Investor in People in 2000 and has been successfully assessed every three years against the standard.

The most recent assessment was completed on Friday 27^th March, when the charity was recognized as an Investor in People for another three years.

Passing this external quality assessment less than six months after suffering a major contract loss, when the charity lost 60% (£1m) of income demonstrates the determination of staff, volunteers and trustees to continue working for the benefit of older people locally.

Commenting on the achievement, Chief Executive Martin Davies said “This is wonderful news for everyone at Age Concern Westminster. Staff, volunteers and trustees have worked extremely hard to rebuild the team and their morale since we lost a £1m contract last October and I am delighted that this hard work has been recognized publicly through our ongoing commitment to invest in our staff and volunteers.”
