The RBKC Digital Inclusion team have received an update on an opportunity from The Good Things Foundation, that they would communicate to local partners.

Whether you already are a member of the National Digital Inclusion Network or not, the RBKC Digital Inclusion Team strongly encourage you to consider applying, as these devices have specifically been allocated for London organisations and beneficiaries.

Message from Good Things Foundation:

September is Preparedness Month and after four heatwaves this summer, it’s clear that London is increasingly challenged by extreme heat. As the summer season winds down, it's time to focus on how London can prepare for rising temperatures and ensure that next summer we’re ready.

RBKC are currently running two consultations which are open for input from residents.

Making the Borough Greener aims to understand how environmental issues are impacting the local area, what environmental improvements you'd like to see and which actions you think the Council should prioritise. Their aim through the consultation is to shape a greener, healthier, and more resilient future for Kensington and Chelsea - reducing carbon emissions, improving air quality and enhancing biodiversity in our neighbourhoods.

Royal Trinity Hospice have announced their upcoming activities and events for October and September, open to adults with a life-limiting condition.

You can access the calendar here, which includes links to book each event.

They are calling on the government to extend the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme through to the next general election. Funding has not yet been guaranteed beyond 2025, and Feeding Britain are asking for people who understand the importance of the programme to sign and circulate this petition which supports provision of meals and activities for children and young people during school holidays.
