Nourishing updates from your local VCS - KCSC E-bulletin

KCSC's weekly e-bulletin

A new RBKC report on social investment was on our reading list this week - we've picked out a few notable sections for you to have a look at. Elsewhere there are local organisations doing fantastic things; a new poetry festival centring marginalised voices, some promising webinars on property and fundraising, and an opportunity to find some peace in the city with Clement James Centre's Nature Wellbeing & Gardening sessions. Happy Tuesday!
