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

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

Upcoming sessions will be on:
28 August 2025
25 September 2025

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.

We have recently become aware of an email scam mentioning our organisation. We have seen an email in which the sender offers a sale of KCSC data such as training attendees/registrants. The sender appears to be from an organisation called Business Box S.

From Durham University:

"After another long period of ups and downs and twists and turns in the voluntary sector, Third Sector Trends is back to find out what’s going on.  We’d really like you to take part so that we can build a better picture of what is happening in London.

Many of you will have helped with this research before and if you’re a new organisation, Durham University are just as keen to see what you do, how things are going and what you’re achieving.

Drive change at the Council by joining a new Independent Advisory Panel

The Council has made 45 commitments in response to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. These include an external review of Council culture, a full review of the complaints process, and ensuring residents’ perspectives shape improvements to services.

The Council recently published their Social Investment Report for 2023-24, which looks at the social value connected with their decision-making - how places, services and goods impact local residents in terms of life satisfaction, wellbeing and quality of life, instead of just financially.

Free Enhanced Health Checks (EHCs) are available at different community venues around North Kensington during September.

These half hour appointments with a dedicated clinician are a popular way for North Kensington residents living and working in the area, who have been affected by the Grenfell Tower fire, to support their health and wellbeing.

Consisting of a basic health review and respiratory check there's also the opportunity to discuss any other concerns you may have. Onward referrals will be made by the clinician, if necessary.
