WCOP was co-founded in 2012 by Arif Anis & Syed Qamar Raza after lengthy consultations and deliberations with Pakistani Diaspora leaders in the UK, USA, Pakistan and abroad. WCOP projects have attracted support from the most effective circles from the UK, Pakistan and worldwide, including the parliamentarians, writers, academics, media persons and think tank experts.

Hon Simon Hughes, Chancellor of Exchequer Rt. Hon. Sajid Javed and the Archbishop of Canterbury Rt. Hon Rowan Williams.
