International students promote youth homelessness agenda
Last month a group of international students from the London School of Commerce cycled on ‘Boris bikes’ from Borough High Street – where Depaul UK’s London Nightstop has its offices – to our Stoke Newington base to challenge the public to think about youth homelessness.
They were supported by the vinspired initiative and you can read more details of the day on the London SE1 website. Thanks to Long Tu and her team for their efforts!

North London Action for the Homeless is seeking a new Treasurer
We are looking for a new Treasurer to help manage our finances.
We are a small charity based in Stoke Newington providing drop-in sessions and support for homeless people. Established in 1994 we now employ two part time staff and have an annual turnover of about £60,000.
Our current Treasurer is going to live and work abroad so we are seeking a replacement. This is an unpaid position and will involve joining the governing board of the charity as a Trustee. Committee meetings are usually on Thursday evenings every six weeks. A detailed knowledge of charity finance is not required but good financial skills and a genuine concern for homeless people are essential.
For more information, please download the Job description.
If you think that you may be able to help us with this please email your CV with a short statement about why you are interested to nlah_uk@yahoo.com preferably before 28 October 2012.
