From the K&C Digital Inclusion Partnership:

"This time last year we circulated a survey, and your feedback was a catalyst in shaping how the Partnership operated, and our monthly meetings were run over the past 10 months. 

As we approach the end of 2025, we want to ask you to reflect on our Partnership and help us steer it in a direction that most of you find beneficial for your organisations and the communities you serve. 

Please take 10 minutes to provide your feedback on the past year and help us shape 2026.

A new and fully funded three-day training course from Young K&C offers an introduction to youth and community work through engaging group activities, practical learning and support from experienced trainers. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in exploring a future in youth work, and/or anyone who wants to increase their confidence and leadership skills.

Young K&C are looking for people with enthusiasm and a passion for helping others.

Change4Life clubs are a free five-week programme, open to any child (with accompanying parent/carer), young person or expectant parent who lives, attends a state-funded school or children’s centre or is registered with a GP in Kensington and Chelsea or Westminster. 

From the Natural History Museum's Community & Youth Engagement Team:

The council are looking to engage the local voluntary sector in reviewing proposed changes for the third round (2027-2030) of the the Voluntary Sector Support Fund (VSSF). 

They have warned that with a lower budget allocation from central government, local councils including RBKC have less funding to share among the voluntary sector and therefore they are asking for input from the sector on how best to allocate it. 

RBKC's Wellbeing Hub explores free or low-cost mental health and emotional wellbeing support in Kensington and Chelsea and some UK wide service and apps. 

Additionally, the INTERACT Study in partnership with Imperial College London explores how people feel about their social connections and aims to build a more inclusive and connected city, and survey participants are needed.
