Copius Consulting are the Founding Partner of Northern Ireland's 1st 3rd sector and peace focussed cross sector partnership. This partnership was brought together by Liam McStravick (Managing Partner at Copius Consulting) to share learning, add value to one another and offer a range of services to Peace III Clusters throughout Northern Ireland and was established in October of 2009.
At this minute in time there are a range of members of the Futurebuilders Consortium including;
- NICVA (through their Sector Matters Ltd Social Enterprise)
- Co-operation Ireland
- Making Music Workshop
- OCN
- Intercomm
There is currently discussion ongoing with a range of additional agencies to complement the partnership and begin to expand the work of the Consortium and its 'skill pool' to as wide an audience as possible throughout Northern Ireland. Some of these additional partners include STEP NI, Possibilities NI and Opportunity Youth.
The Futurebuilders Consortium has already been successful in securing 3 large scale youth focussed projects, delivering the Investing in Our Future programme for the Southern Peace Cluster which is being administered by Craigavon Borough Council.
The Futurebuilders Consortium will continue to grow and develop over the next number of years and will focus its energy on delivering large scale contracts in excess of £50,000 for a range of local authorities and government departments in Northern Ireland.
