The consultation for changes to be made to the Code of Fundraising Practice has been launched. Areas to be changed include Working with Third Parties, Trustees, the Fundraising Ask and Whistleblowing, as well as several others. The deadline for response is Friday 28th April.

The Drug and Alcohol Wellbeing Service (DAWS) and Change Grow Live (The Alcohol Service) have created a digital map across Westminster, Hammersmith & Fulham and Kensington & Chelsea to showcase activities/services that fall under the categories of the 5 ways to wellbeing: Give, Learn, Connect, Be Active, Take Notice.

We would like to give community organisations the opportunity to add to the map. The only thing that we ask is that the activities you add are on offer for a period of 6 weeks or more. We would also love for people to benefit from using the map.

To access the map click here and to find out how to use and add to the map click here.
