Our members:
- Have their head office, conduct business or reside in London and the surrounding area;
- Range from grassroots organizations and initiatives, to large nonprofit organizations and businesses, to individuals committed to our community
Together, Pillar members form a network of like-minded individuals, committed to increasing their visibility, credibility, capacity, and impact. Their dedication strengthens the effectiveness of the sector as a whole and positions the nonprofit sector alongside government and businesses in the pursuit of postive community change.
Without a strong, stable and reliable public sector, we cannot be a community. Without an innovative, responsive and vibrant private sector, we cannot be a community. Without a caring, creative and compassionate voluntary sector, we cannot be a community. Without any of these three pillars, the community collapses. When these three pillars work in collaboration, harmony and mutual respect, the sky will be the limit.
