These slides are the work of artist Josh Knowles, who joined us for our strategy day with Healthwatch Camden. The current moment represents a variety of opportunities but also challenges in healthcare.

It was great to have Josh with us for his visual representations of the important discussions we had around the future of healthcare and the NHS.

Our Safeguarding Lead, Dianne, recently had an important conversation with Councillor Patricia Callaghan about women’s safety in Camden — a topic that affects us all.

The discussion explored the challenges women face, the attitudes that need to shift, and the practical steps being taken to create safer streets and stronger community support.

You can listen to the full podcast here:

A big thank‑you to Councillor Callaghan, Shaheda Rahman, Camden’s Community Safety Programme Manager, and Saskia Garner, Head of Policy and Campaigns at the Suzy Lamplugh Trust — the UK’s pioneering personal safety charity and leading authority on stalking. Their insights and dedication are invaluable.

Last chance to sign up for our session tomorrow with Camden Carers!

Many carers experience wide ranging health inequalities, and at the same time don’t get the support they are legally entitled to.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about the rights and support available for people who look after others.
