IVAC is moving and will be called Voluntary Action Islington

From December 4th 2009 Islington Voluntary Action Council (IVAC) will be known as Voluntary Action Islington. We will move to new premises. Our new address will be 200a Pentonville Road, London N1 9JP.

These changes represent a significant step forward for the organisation, following our merger with the Islington Volunteer Centre in April 2009. Our new name and visual identity tells people what we are about – promoting and supporting action by individuals, groups and organisations in Islington.

The move to new premises will result in new ways of working for the organisation. We will be much more visible, with a shop front, and premises that are accessible to people in the borough. The new premises are much larger, with meeting rooms and desk spaces that will be used by other organisations and volunteers too. We will all be working on one floor in an open plan environment.

During the next few weeks our telephone numbers and email addresses will change. You will find a list of key contact details on the right. Our new website is under construction but in the meantime you can access our current website.

We hope to minimise disruption but apologise in advance for any short term inconvenience that these changes might cause. In the long term they should result in us becoming a stronger organisation that is better placed to provide more effective support to individuals and groups that want to make a positive difference to the local community in Islington.
