We had our biggest ever summer of exposure this year, with a stall at New Wine North, Momentum and Greenbelt. These were all valuable and unique opportunities to share stories, inspire people and feel encouraged by the huge numbers who expressed an interest or passion for what we do!
We know lots of you filled out response forms to keep in touch, but if you didn’t (or even if you did) feel free to contact us via our website, to find out more about how you can be part of the Boaz story!

The National NACCOM conference is being held this year at Carrs Lane Church Centre,Carrs Ln, Birmingham, B4 7SX on Saturday February 12th from 10.15 to 4.30.
Details of the programme, which is more varied and comprehensive than ever and a booking form are available at the new NACCOM website! Go to http://naccom-network.posterous.com for more details and to download the forms click on: Conference Programme.
A map of the centre, which has excellent facilities and is very well situated in the centre of Birmingham, can be seen at the link below.
The cost is £15 waged, £10 unwaged and free to those with no recourse to public funds*. This includes lunch. Please help us with the costings and catering by booking as soon as possible. We are hoping for in excess of 100 attendees this year, as there are several new projects now in operation.
The conference will benefit those who are involved in current accommodation projects, and those who are interested in becoming involved or starting one of their own. Please circulate this information to those you know who may benefit.
I look forward to a fantastic day, and hopefully seeing you there!
God bless you,
Dave Smith
Director, Boaz Trust
*Although we are delighted to be able to offer free places to those who have no recourse to public funds, please ensure that they are genuinely involved in the running of projects, not just clients, as we cannot allocate more than ten free places.

The Boaz Trust have set up a network of other organisations providing accommodation to destitute asylum seekers across the UK called NACCOM (standing for No Accommodation). This is a fantastic way to share ideas and expertise, and to encourage one another. It is also a good way for people who are interested in setting something up in their own area to find out what is already being done and how they do it. On Saturday 30th January 2010 NACCOM will be holding its national conference in London. The conference will run from 11-5 at Praxis, Pott Street, London E2 0EF. Contact
tatiana.tomayeva@praxis.org.uk for more details or to book in. You can download a flyer
