WARM microgrants are back! - KCSC E-bulletin

KCSC's weekly e-bulletin

We're pleased to re-open applications for our WARM (Wellbeing And Resilience Mentors) network microgrants - local organisations that participate can apply for funding to receive support on strengthening community financial resilience.

For new organisations in the borough, or those considering setting up a voluntary/community organisation, have a look at our collection of resources for development. Find helpful tools like model policies, strategy and business plans and marketing and promotion assistance.

News from around the borough includes the first Grenfell Assembly - an opportunity to hear the latest news on the Council’s Grenfell work, get updates from the Government on the Tower, and ask questions of senior Council and Government officers. Additionally, Grenfell Enhanced Health Checks, for people working and living locally who are affected by the fire, are taking place in community venues across February.
