Ann Wolfe, Community Development Worker at VAC writes about her work:
I remember it well – the first time I ever ran a workshop for Voluntary Action Camden. The pounding heart, dry mouth, shaking hands. What if I forget what I want to say? What if my mind goes totally blank? What if..?
Several years on and some 50 or so workshops later, talking to a group of people no longer reduces me to a state of terror. It’s just part of my job, something I find rewarding and, dare I say it, even enjoyable.
But on this chilly February afternoon at a community venue near Kings Cross (Our Camden) I’m here to give moral and practical support to Yvonne, one of our volunteer Mental Health Champions. Click here to read on.

UN expert condemns UK government’s anti-charity approach
Anti-charity measures adopted by the government could have serious ramifications around the world, if adopted by “less democratic nations” who view the British charity sector as an exemplary model, a UN representative said yesterday.
Speaking at the Foreign Press Association, the UN special rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, Maina Kiai, said Britain’s charity sector was a “national treasure” and the many individuals working for it, the “reason for many of the positive attributes enjoyed in this country”. Full story in Civil Society.

Shawcross Embraces Charitable Advocacy – Three Years Late
After three long years of negativism about charities’ political activity, the Chairman of the Charity Commission has suddenly embraced the vital role of charities in democratic debate and decision-making. Why? Another fascinating article from former charity commissioner, Andrew Purkis, available on his blog.
