Capacitybuilders

In December 2006, Capacitybuilders published their strategic framework document, Destination 2014 for consultation. The three month consultation aimed to gather a range of voices from across the third sector to feed into the development of the framework.

At the launch of the consultation, Chris Pond, Capacitybuilders’ Chair, said “the objectives and targets set out in the document are carved in polystyrene and not in stone”. Destination 2014 promises to continue evolving over time and to communicate its amendments clearly.

Revised strategy now available

The revised version of Destination 2014: ChangeUp Delivery Strategy was launched at the Annual Conference on 3 July in Birmingham. It takes into account the various views expressed during the consultation and is designed to indicate the way forward for Capacitybuilders in relation to the ChangeUp programme as a whole.
