Action Disability Kensington and Chelsea (ADKC) is launching a new regular advice session in co-production with RBKC Adult Social Care.

The first surgery will take place on Thursday 31 July at their centre on Silchester Road, London W10 and online via Zoom. 

This is a chance for local disabled people and older people to meet with staff from ADKC, Age UK, other support organisations and social workers from Adult Social Care, to get confidential advice and support.

The Poetry Trail for Kamitan Arts' inaugural Kensington and Chelsea Poetry Fringe has commenced.

The council is inviting all Kensington and Chelsea residents to take part in a residents survey.

The survey focuses on your satisfaction with the local area and the services provided by the council. The council intends to use the feedback received to help set priorities and shape work towards a greener, safer, and fairer Kensington and Chelsea.

 Closing date: Saturday 2 August 2025.

The following opportunity comes from Protection Approaches, a UK-based charity working to prevent identity-based violence. They have been commissioned by the Greater London Authority’s London Resilience Unit to support the development of a new Equalities Partnership — and they are seeking input from civil society and equality-focused organisations across London.
