In the aftermath of the decision to take down Grenfell tower, we have launched a new support page now that the deconstruction is underway. On the page you can find information about health and wellbeing services and networks, as well as updates and material focused on the work to create a memorial. We welcome suggestions to add to this page, which you can find here: Grenfell Tower Deconstruction: Support and Resources | Kensington & Chelsea Social Council

Many of you will know our colleague and massive part of the KCSC Team, Community Development Manager Joe Batty. Joe is in his last couple of week's here at KCSC, and we are both very sad to see him go and incredibly grateful for the time and effort he has given while working here. Joe has written a blog post reflecting on his time here which you can read below.
