Bridget Young, NACCOM’s Director, opened our Annual Conference on 25 March in Leeds with a quote from the writer James Baldwin, who famously said, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless it is faced.” This year’s conference marked 20 years since NACCOM was set up by a group of dedicated volunteers who gathered together to say no to the destitution they saw in their communities. A timeline displayed in the main entrance charted these years, of growth, activism, solidarity and welcome, driven by a movement of passionate individuals and incredible organisations challenging [...]
