KCSC are excited to announce Head_Space, a brand new series of talks and interactive workshops designed to spark fresh thinking, innovation, and inspiration, for an audience of socially focussed organisations.

The contract for the walk-in service at Earls Court Health & Wellbeing Centre is due to expire on the 31st March 2020 and West London Clinical Commissioning Group (WLCCG) are considering what to do next.

Does your community space need a spruce-up? The Volunteer Centre Kensington and Chelsea (VCKC) are calling for all community centres, groups and charities, to tell them if you have a space that needs painting, decorating, fixing or tidying! VCKC have teams of dedicated volunteers that have a day to spare and would love to help transform spaces in the K&C community. This can include any activities that require a one-day session, for teams of 5-12 volunteers.

KCSC is asking for photographs from our voluntary sector organisations that show what you do.  Whether it's running a football club, an art session or putting on a dance event, we want to showcase the sector in our communications, including our annual report.

This also provides a great opportunity for you to promote your organisation and of course KCSC will credit the photos to your organisation.

Types of photos KCSC would like from organisations:
