West House became an independent Industrial and Provident Society in 1996. Since then the organisation has continued to grow whilst still remaining true to its vision of creating better lives for people.
We are now both one of the largest voluntary organisations and a major employer in Cumbria, with over 400 care and support staff. We support over 200 adults and over 150 children at home and in the community.
West House is a charitable membership organisation, with around 60 shareholding members. Our membership comes from three groups: people who use our services, family carers, and supporters. The membership elects 12 people to represent them on the Management Board. This Board elects two Co-Chairs to lead the organisation, one of whom will always be someone who uses our services.
We are currently undertaking a Strategic Review, to improve the services we deliver at West House. You can see our Plan on a Page here: Transforming-West-House.
