Happy Volunteers' Week!

This week, we celebrate the incredible volunteers who give their time, skills, and compassion to make a difference across Islington.

Every day, volunteers support local charities, community groups, older residents, young people, families, and those facing challenges. They help tackle loneliness, build stronger communities, provide essential services, and create opportunities for people to thrive.

Their impact goes far beyond the hours they give. Volunteers bring kindness, connection, and hope to countless people across the borough, helping to make Islington a more welcoming, supportive, and vibrant place for everyone.

To every volunteer in Islington – thank you. Your dedication, generosity, and commitment make a real difference, and our community is stronger because of you. 🌟

Whether it’s giving your time, sharing your skills, or simply listening, every act of kindness counts.

Fall in love with your community this Valentine’s Day.

The new Charity Governance Code 2025 is here!

The updated Charity Governance Code sets out eight key principles designed to help charities of all sizes strengthen leadership, accountability, and transparency.

It’s a practical guide that supports trustees and charity leaders to reflect on how their organisation is run, covering areas such as leadership, integrity, decision-making, diversity, risk, people, and culture.

Good governance is at the heart of a strong, trusted, and effective charity sector.

Review the Code
Reflect on your governance practices
“Apply or explain” how your organisation meets the principles
