NACCOM will hold its 8th National Conference, “Working for a Better Asylum Future”, on Friday September 11th in Derby.

The NACCOM Conference empowers organisations to tackle destitution amongst asylum seekers through innovative housing options and other services. This is the eighth national conference. Since its inception in 2006 NACCOM has grown from three to 31 member groups across the UK, now accommodating over 580 asylum seekers and refugees.

This year NACCOM has launched as a national charity. Come and hear our exciting plans for the future! Plus 8 workshops to choose from and great networking opportunities over a delicious lunch!
