Stars of Our Story! - KCSC E-bulletin

KCSC's weekly e-bulletin

It's a special e-bulletin this week as we launch "Stars of our Story", exploring KCSC's history as a partner and friend to non-profit groups in the area.

We're incredibly grateful to Mel Christodoulou in particular who conceived and facilitated this project, as well as all of the people and organisations who featured in it.

This week, we're talking to Zara Ghods, Chief Executive of Kensington and Chelsea Over 50s Forum, about the relationship between our two organisations.
