Over the next few weeks, we will be running a new series on each of our teams here at KCSC.

We sat down with each of our teams and asked them a few questions about their work, the projects they've been involved in recently, and what they are looking forward to over the next year or so.

First up, it's the Community Development team - Lucy Hughes, Community Resilience Programme Manager and Joe Batty, Community Development Manager.

Healthwatch is trying to understand the impact of the Pembridge Hospice closure on residents and their communities in RBKC and Westminster. They will be collecting these stories and perspectives to develop a report, which will be shared with the NHS Northwest London, NWL ICB, local authorities, community members, and other key stakeholders. 

MS-UK are delighted to offer free MS awareness training sessions for professionals and volunteers.

Why should your team attend this session?

In the meantime you can learn more and view the Social Justice archive here. 
 

This new report was produced by Protection Approaches with input from over 100 submissions in a call for evidence on good practice on social cohesion and community resilience. The report includes several case studies from community and faith organisations bringing people together, responding to shocks, crises, and chronic stresses.
