On a hot Sunday afternoon, thirty members squeezed into the TWC2 office for our latest annual general meeting (AGM). The previous year's work was summarised, proposals for the coming twelve months were considered and a new Executive Committee was elected.

IMD 2006: New Help Line Launched -1800-888-1515
On December 17th, TWC2's new help line was launched and nineteen people who have volunteered to staff it were honoured at a gathering to mark International Migrants' Day (IMD). The nineteen had gone through a training course, giving up their time on ten successive Sundays, and then they sat an exam at the end of it. They have committed themselves to share in staffing the help line over the coming year.
