This month TFN investigates the mysterious closure of a vital charity, celebrates Volunteers Week and looks at how a meat-free lifestyle could become the norm

TFN's June edition is out now and you can read it all HERE

Inside, Niall Christie has done a brilliant, extensive investigation on Glasgow East Women’s Aid and its very sudden demise. Vital services have been lost and staff paid off. But why?

Niall also writes an intriguing article examining the issue of national emergencies: housing, climate, drugs. For sure, they can be deemed as emergencies. But what impact does the declaration actually have within and without the sector?

Volunteers Week, the annual celebration, looks at the unsung heroes that make many organisations tick. Whether it's amateur sports, unpaid care, fundraising or working in charity retail, Graham Martin's article shows how vital volunteers are to the sector and Scottish society.

Add to that TFN's usual excellent columnists, regular features and news stories and you've got a bumper June edition.
