As our summers get hotter, having somewhere cool to escape the heat can make all the difference. 🌞

That's why we're creating a Guide to Cool Spaces across Kensington & Chelsea. Over the coming weeks, we'll be visiting local venues, checking out their facilities and what they offer, then sharing everything you need to know right here.

Keep an eye on this space for our recommendations. 👀

In the meantime, stay cool, stay hydrated, and don't forget to check in on neighbours, friends, family members, and anyone who may be more vulnerable during hot weather. 💜

We're asking our supporters, volunteers, partners, and local community to nominate us for the £5,000 Movement for Good Community Award from Benefact Group.

Every nomination increases our chances of receiving funding that will help us continue connecting local people with meaningful volunteering opportunities and providing support through our wellbeing programmes.

✨ It only takes a minute to nominate.
📅 Nominations close on 5 July.

If our work has had a positive impact on you or someone you know, we'd be incredibly grateful for your support. Please nominate us via the link in our bio, and if you can, share this post to help us reach even more people.

Thank you for helping us build a more connected and inclusive volunteer network in Kensington & Chelsea! 💜

🌞 With hot weather expected over the coming days, we're encouraging everyone in our volunteer network and across the borough to take a few simple steps to stay safe.

Whether you're volunteering, supporting neighbours or simply enjoying the sunshine, remember to stay hydrated, keep cool, and check in on anyone who may be more vulnerable to the heat.

Take care of yourself so you can continue taking care of others. 💜

🏳️‍🌈This we're reflecting on how volunteering opportunities can be designed to make everyone feel welcome and respected.

The ideas in this post are simple starting points, and not an exhaustive list, but together they can help shape experiences where people feel safe, valued, and empowered to be themselves.

💬 What does inclusive volunteering look like to you?

48 volunteers, thousands of visitors, onw great festival! ✨

We were delighted to once again work alongside Imperial College London at this year's Great Exhibition Road Festival, helping to create a welcoming and inspiring experience for visitors from across London and beyond.

Even the rain couldn't dampen our volunteers' enthusiasm as they helped make the festival a memorable celebration of community, discovery and connection. ✨

Thank you to everyone who volunteered with us! We hope to see you again next year. 💙

Today we remember the fire at Grenfell Tower, the 72 people killed, those who survived, and those who lost loved ones.

We stand in solidarity with all those affected, many still coming to terms with their experiences and the holes left in our community.

We remain committed to a community-led recovery, supporting and connecting people with compassion, respect and sincerity, and to fostering the spirit of care that continues to bring people together across our borough. 💚

Last week, we had the pleasure of surprising some of our incredible volunteers with flowers as a small token of our appreciation for Volunteer's Week. 💐

In this video, some of our volunteers share what they enjoy the most about volunteering and how volunteering has helped them become more confident, make connections and get creatively inspired! ✨️

A huge thank you to all of our volunteers for everything you do. We are so grateful for your dedication, kindness, and the difference you make every day. 💜

At VCKC, we believe in meeting you where you are on your volunteering journey. We take the time to understand what matters to you (your interests, availability, personal goals and more) and help connect you with opportunities that feel like the right fit.

👆 This we'd like to highlight some of the ways our volunteers are making a difference in the community, each in their own unique way.

💜 To all our volunteers: thank you! For your time , energy, kindness and the positive impact you make.

If you've been thinking about volunteering but aren't sure where to start, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch, and we'll help you find an opportunity that works for you.
