A new community project to help Camden’s foodbanks cope with the growing demand
Camden School for Girls is pleased to announce the launch of Feeding Camden, a new community project designed to boost donations from local Camden residents to the struggling foodbanks in our Borough.
The website www.feedingcamden.org.uk explains the impetus for the project and how it will work. The Camden New Journal has a full story.
There are also links to a number of foodbanks in Camden, such as the Trussell Trust Camden Foodbanks and other useful resources.
There are other similar initiatives in Camden as well, such as Food Share which brings together growers and those in need. Other initiatives like Streets Kitchen feed homeless people and refugees as well as operating a point of contact for soup kitchens. Other projects include Food Cycle serving community meals.

Camden Community Impacts
“Community Impacts is a key part of the Council’s relationship with the voluntary and community sector.
The main idea of Community Impacts is that by working closely with the community we will be stronger at tackling some of the toughest problems we have in the borough, both now and in the future.
The voluntary and community sector already does a great job at helping everyone in the community so Community Impacts is designed to create a way for lots of organisations and people to work together to solve some big issues.
We want Camden to be a place for everyone. We believe that by working together we can help each other, making sure Camden continues to be a place where everyone feels they belong.”

Consultation on £5.6 million rates relief scheme for Camden
A £5.6 million rates relief scheme is being proposed by the Council.
It follows lobbying of the Government by the Council and local business leaders following the recent national revaluation.
Camden has secured extra Government money to support some of the small businesses which saw the steepest increases in their rates. The proposed rate relief scheme aims to reduce the local impact of recent business rate increases caused by the revaluation. One proposal is to offer relief to those whose bills have risen by more than £300. Have your say on the consultation here.

Treasurer Required for Charity Board
SPCA (St Pancras Community Association) is a community based charity with a turnover of around £250,000, based a few minutes north of St Pancras Station. It works primarily for the benefit of local people and its priorities include reducing isolation among older people, giving young families a good start in life, building community pride and getting local people more physically active.
We need a treasurer to join our voluntary trustees. The treasurer oversees the organisation’s finances but does not need to manage the money directly. She or he will work closely with paid staff to ensure that they set annual budgets appropriately and that spending is properly monitored and audited and that appropriate systems are in place. They will also support other trustees and ensure that they are aware of their financial risks and policies.
The trustee role involves a monthly board meeting and the treasurer typically has one additional and more detailed meeting per year when budgets are agreed and usually a quarterly discussion with the Director or finance officer to check on progress. The treasurer is not expected to keep the books or do all the calculations for budget setting, which are done by paid employees.

SPOC, helping local charities live long and prosper
NAVCA has published a report to highlight how a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) commissioning model provides better services for people and communities, improves their wellbeing and can save money. The SPOC model overcomes barriers that commissioners claim make it difficult for them to work with smaller charities. The SPOC model involves a trusted single non-provider charity building a coalition of small local charities and taking on the grant or contract management, monitoring and administration, enabling commissioners to focus on strategic planning. Small local charities are generally set up to serve the very specific needs of a particular community and are able to focus on people’s needs rather than large generic services that too often miss their target.
