Help support residents to Get Online with recycled devices

RBKC's Citizen Device Recycling Scheme is giving unwanted technology a second life while creating new opportunities for residents experiencing digital exclusion.

Through this borough-wide initiative, donated devices are securely refurbished and made available to residents who may otherwise struggle to access online services, education, employment opportunities, healthcare, benefits and other forms of support.

What devices are available?

If joint, bone or muscle pain makes it hard to find a job or even think about your next step, Muscular Skeletal (MSK) Trailblazer is here for you.

The MSK Trailblazer programme offers residents in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) six months of free, personalized health and employment support if they are unemployed and living with a bone, joint, or muscle condition.

Delivered by Shaw Trust alongside local partners, it aims to help people manage pain and return to work.

Anyone who is currently unemployed is welcome, whatever their circumstances we will be able to discuss their options on the day and get them some additional support.

Community Matters is offering voluntary and community sector organisations the opportunity to enrol staff on a fully funded Community Health & Wellbeing Worker (CHWW) Level 3 Apprenticeship.

Each year, London Fire Brigade (LFB) produces an Assessment of Risk, which looks at their current understanding of the risks affecting London to which they could be expected to respond. You can view previous assessments here.
