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
