Free maths workshops for parents/carers running this June. The sessions focus on helping parents support their child’s learning in maths, particularly around problem solving (Reception-Year 6), with practical support for learning at home.

Attendees can choose from one of the 3 delivery locations : Avondale Park Primary, Westway (1 Thorpe Close), and Lancaster Youth Hub.

What’s it all about?

Community Space Ltd have shared information on a potential opportunity for charity occupiers to take space in Hammersmith, London, comprising three floors of office / community space.

The space may be available for up to two years due to future redevelopment plans, so this could suit a charity, community organisation, social enterprise, CIC, faith-based organisation, or a collaboration between several charities who may not need or be able to justify taking the whole building individually.

The Community Partnerships & Engagement Team at Central Northwest London NHS Trust currently have spaces remaining on upcoming training sessions in May, June and July.

This training will help you to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health issues, support someone experiencing a mental health crisis, improve your own wellbeing. Topics covered include wellbeing, anxiety, depression, and suicide awareness and prevention. 

The latest version of the digital inclusion signposting booklet has been released, now rebranded as the Get Online in K&C Handbook.

This handbook brings together all the support available to residents with digital skills, devices, connectivity, and staying safe online.

It’s a practical resource to help people to get online and build confidence with digital technology.

You can find an accessible pdf version and the printable pdf downloadable on the webpage:

New research published by Charity Excellence has given insight into the threats and challenges facing small charities across the UK, and how infrastructure organisations have become more important than ever.

Significant growth in small charities over the last 20 years means that Local Infrastructure Organisations (LIOS) such as KCSC and the Volunteer Centre Kensington and Chelsea, who support those small charities, are more in demand than ever, but financial insecurity amongst other issues means that LIOs are closing at an alarming rate.
