“Libres” – a concert and a lecture, story telling and folk song by Pilar Lopez
In 1936, in an unprecedented act of solidarity, people from many countries in Europe, Asia and the American continent traveled to Spain to risk their lives fighting fascism. At the same time workers & their unions were engaging in a deep transformation of society, a Social Revolution.
“Libres” brings stories, songs and images from these times and makes connections with today’s resistance to fascism and with contemporary currents striving for peace & liberty.

Mental Health Charity seeking New Premises in North London

We need around 80-100m2 of space and access to basic facilities. The premises we work from need to have D1 planning consent and needs to be divided up into office space and consulting rooms with a small waiting area.

Camden Community energy grant
Community energy is a way in which communities can own, manage and generate renewable energy systems, which brings benefits to the local community. Many successful community renewable energy projects have been developed across the UK, including Camden, however one of the main barriers to setting up new schemes is funding to pay for the measures.
The Camden Climate Fund provides grants of up to £15,000 for community energy groups to install and manage renewable energy systems that generate energy for the benefit of the local community in some form. This could be for example, solar photovoltaic panels on a building such as a community centre or school. Find out more at the Camden website.

Broadening the Appeal of Your Volunteering Programme
Volunteer Centre Camden Workshop + Lunch
Wednesday, 22 November 2017 from 10:00 to 13:00
Join us for our next Best Practice Plus volunteer management workshop (which includes lunch).
Who: The workshop, ‘Broadening the Appeal of Your Volunteering Programme’, will be delivered by Rupal Karia and Sheila Norris from Volunteer Centre Camden – who have more than 24 years’ volunteer management experience between them.
What: Is your organisation reflective of the community it supports? For an increasing number of local organisations the answer to this is no, and now many have funding targets to increase the diversity of their volunteer team. This could include anything from age, gender, ethnicity, religion, economic background, work status, disability and the list goes on!
