Support

Does your community space need a spruce-up? The Volunteer Centre Kensington and Chelsea (VCKC) are calling for all community centres, groups and charities, to tell them if you have a space that needs painting, decorating, fixing or tidying! VCKC have teams of dedicated volunteers that have a day to spare and would love to help transform spaces in the K&C community. This can include any activities that require a one-day session, for teams of 5-12 volunteers.

With the 31 October Brexit deadline fast approaching, we have gathered some resources shared with us by The FSI and a survey looking at the voluntary sector's capacity to support Europeans and their families stay in the UK post Brexit.

A pot of £600k is being made available to organisations in Notting Dale so they can bid for grants to deliver priority projects.

The new Community Grants Programme, which is a Grenfell Recovery pledge, will ensure the projects delivered meet the needs of local communities in Notting Dale. Don’t miss your chance to design the grants programme with RBKC - they are starting with some questions and a series of community events to find out your views on how the grants programme can best meet your aspirations.
