Building Resilience: from ambition to action

A collaborative learning and problem-solving event for Kensington and Chelsea's voluntary and community sector. Take part in actionable conversations about issues affecting the resilience of our communities.


Staff and volunteers are invited to join us on Friday 16 May to take part in conversations and workshops addressing two risks to the resilience of our local sector and communities::

Highlights will include the launch of a Food Justice Anti-Poverty Charter for Kensington and Chelsea, insights from the Money and Pensions Service, a Q&A with Dr Carl Walker from Alliance for Dignified Food Support, new research from The Fair Collective on the mental health of small charity/CIC leaders, and a taster session aimed at supporting and developing the resilience of voluntary sector workers.
