Becoming a member
We are developing Voluntary Action Camden membership as a clear route for local organisations and groups to engage with local policy and strategy, and contribute to a stronger Voluntary and Community Sector voice in Camden. This is an important time for the local sector as strategic developments, like the emerging Integrated Care System (ICS), put increasing pressure on community-based organisations. As a member you will be part of a dedicated network for contributing a range of views and being consulted in areas of specific knowledge and expertise.
Voluntary Action Camden Membership is open to any voluntary, community and not for profit group operating in Camden and its surroundings.
