Camden Voluntary Action Forum

The Camden Voluntary Action Forum is a new online forum to bring together the sector to discuss, share and learn about issues, opportunities and challenges facing Camden residents and the community groups supporting them. It is open to any new or existing voluntary and community groups in Camden and is held fortnightly.

Arising out of the COVID-19 crisis, the forum currently provides a chance to catch up with the latest situation in Camden and to share what you are doing in response to the current situation. It is our hope that the forum will provide an ongoing collaborative space for the sector beyond the current crisis.
