2009 was a big year for the organisation. Firstly, it underwent a change of name from Otra Cosa Volunteer Agency to Otra Cosa Network in order to reflect the network of people and projects that it works with. This was also the year that the organisation was officially registered as a Peruvian non-profit NGO with the APCI (Peruvian Association for International Cooperation) and other Peruvian bodies. In December of the same year, Juany and Peter decided to return to England to raise their family. However, they have continued to oversee OCN from the UK on a part-time basis – developing the organisation, networking within the UK, Europe and elsewhere and providing general guidance to staff in Peru. To maintain the smooth running of the organisation, they appointed a full-time Operations Manager in Peru.

At the end of 2011 OCN started its HELP Women project, aimed at empowering local women through an integral programme that provides them with legal, psychological and vocational skills. The HELP Literacy project began in February 2013 when funding was received from LitWorld, a US-based non-profit organisation, to set up a reading club for girls, known as a LitClub. This has been such a success, that it has since expanded to include several LitClubs both for girls and for boys. Most recently, in January 2014 HELP Environment became the latest addition to the HELP projects. This project was formed as a response to the many environmental issues affecting Huanchaco, such as the beach contamination, and the need for more environmental education and awareness within the local population. Meanwhile, the Peru team has grown, currently including two Assistant Managers supporting the Operations Manager to provide better support to the community, to OCN's partner projects and to its volunteers.
