Kensington and Chelsea Social Council and Grenfell Network Group want to take the opportunity of Purdah, when all structured politics grinds to a halt, to ensure momentum is not lost in our challenge to Council to consider how their Charter for Public Participation. can be a real exemplar through adopting our proposed Charter developed in partnership with the Grenfell Network Group.

We are pleased to introduce our annual report for 2018/19 in which you will be able to read about the work and impact of Kensington and Chelsea Social Council (KCSC) over the year, and see how we have managed all of the funds received.

This year we have designed our annual report differently and moved to an online only full version, seeking to reduce our carbon footprint and to demonstrate our activities and impact more effectively. We hope you enjoy reading the new-look report.

The ‘Health Help Now App’ is a National health resource that is being rolled out across the country by each Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). With your permission, we would like to include your organisation in it. The App will help people in the community search for and access health and wellbeing services provided by the NHS, privately or locally by the Voluntary and Community Sector. It is a good opportunity to promote your services and our sector as a whole!
 

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year and hope that 2019 is a positive and fruitful year. Last year was a learning year for KCSC as following reviews on key aspects of our work, it provided us with the opportunity to start to deliver new areas of work and to begin to shape what we really want to do for 2019 and beyond. 

KCSC welcomes Voluntary Sector Development Manager Tom Richards to the team, providing maternity cover for Head of Organisational Development, Siobhan Sollis, for the next year.

Tom has a vocational background in organisational and community development and an academic background in international development and media.
