About the project
The Register of Active Residents is moving to make it easier to get involved! Stay tuned for more information coming soon.
Let's shape the future of Westminster together! Share your local knowledge, lived experience and skills by signing up to the Register of Active Residents
This Register helps us ensure that our communities are more involved in the council's work, alongside our officers and local councillors. By registering you can:
- propose ideas and co-design solutions to improve your community
- contribute to the development of services and programmes
- better understand how the council works and hold decision-makers to account
- participate in community events and development programmes
- share local knowledge
There are many ways you can get involved if you live, work, volunteer or study in Westminster. For example, you can influence decisions through assemblies, participate in recruitment panels, co-design services and share your experience in focus groups and surveys.
To thank you for participating in activities, we may offer vouchers, free training, reimburse travel expenses, host celebrations and provide certificates to show your involvement. You will also be notified about community events and have access to My Skills Zone, with thousands of bitesize training courses. If there's something else you need from us, just ask!
