THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF TIFFENY'S POWERFUL VOICE

At Westminster City Council, we don't just listen to the voices and experiences of our residents - we listen to our people too. Tiffeny is a single mum whose young son has ADHD and before joining our team, she never thought she'd find a job that gave her flexibility and freedom to support her son's needs. As a neurodivergent woman herself, she also never expected to be part of a team that not only supports her needs, but actively celebrates them - where people encourage her to be her true self. And that's what she found here at the City of Westminster., Westminster is an amazing place. We are home to more than 200,000 residents from all backgrounds, over 50,000 vibrant and vital businesses and three-quarters-of-a-million people work in Westminster.

Westminster City Council's strategy is to work towards a Fairer Westminster. A Fairer Westminster is one in which our communities are at the heart of our decision-making and help to determine the city's future. By working directly with our communities and other partners, we can build a more inclusive city that celebrates our diverse communities, and where residents, workers and visitors from all backgrounds will feel welcome and safe.
