Volunteer Centre Kensington and Chelsea (VCKC) is currently running a Supported Access programme.

The programme involves helping 16-25 year olds who have a disability, learning or mental health need or a long-term health condition and want to get job-ready.

VCKC will then help them with this process through volunteering, CV advice, and more.

More information can be found on the website: https://voluntarywork.org.uk/projects/supported-access/ 

Ideas Alliance are using a state of the art digital democracy tool called Pol.is to collaborate with the residents of Kensington and Chelsea to discover what social investment they most want to see.

The results will be fed back to RBKC to inform the social investment team what the community would like to see invested in. There is real value in contributing directly and amplifying through your own networks.

The Women’s Rough Sleeping Census aims to collect more comprehensive data on women experiencing rough sleeping and trial a different method of data collection.

The most recent census was conducted in September 2023 in 41 local authorities across England.

Silver Sunday is a day dedicated to older people. Initially it was started as a response to social isolation and loneliness among our older population. It is now a national day where everyone can come together by hosting fun and free events for older people around the country: a day where older people can meet new people, visit new places, try new activities and connect with their local communities and generations around them.
