Welcome to the Kensington and Chelsea Partnership website
The Kensington and Chelsea Partnership was set up in 2002 to bring together
local public organisations such as the Council, the Police and Primary Care Trust, to work
alongside the voluntary sector, business and community groups.
It aims to join-up services within the borough, plan locally for the
long-term, and improve quality of life in the borough, especially in more deprived neighbourhoods.

Indices of Deprivation 2007
The Indices of Deprivation 2007 (ID 2007) consist of three separate but related indices developed to identify areas where disadvantage is concentrated.
The Indices are constructed by the Social Disadvantage Research Centre at the University of Oxford for the Department of Communities and Local Government (CLG).
The indices use statistical techniques to combine information on economic, social and physical issues to produce scores for small areas across the whole of England. These scores are then used to rank these small areas according to their relative level of deprivation.
To read a report and view the Royal Borough's Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) maps please see Indices of Deprivation 2007
Local Area Agreement
The Kensington and Chelsea Partnership signed a new Local Area Agreement with Government in June 2008.

A new community strategy for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
In November 2005 the Kensington and Chelsea Partnership (KCP) published their second community strategy entitled ‘The Future Of Our Community 2005-2015: The Second Community Strategy for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’. The strategy seeks to describe what the borough is like to live in, to reflect peoples' views on the things that need to change and improve and address these through a series of goals, aims and objectives. The strategy is organised around eight themes that are listed below which deal with many different aspects of life in the Royal Borough.
- Environment and Transport
- Culture, Arts and Leisure
- Safer Communities
- Health and Social Care
- Homes and Housing
- Community, Equalities and Inclusivity
- Learning
- Work and Business
To accompany the strategy there is a series of support documents including a:
- summary booklet that provides an overview of the full strategy
- fact file entitled ‘A Picture of Our Community: Facts and Figures about the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 2005
- delivery plan which is due to be published in Spring 2006
You can read the strategy either online or download it as a PDF document.
A Picture of Our Community – Facts and figures about the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea 2005
A Picture of Our Community presents a range of key data and statistical information to provide a comprehensive picture of the Royal Borough and its residents. Data is presented in a variety of maps, charts and tables for the eight themes of the community strategy. There is an additional chapter on the English Indices of Deprivation 2004.
A Picture of Our Community underpins and supports the new community strategy. The KCP Steering Group took into account the information contained in A Picture of Our Community when developing the community strategy.
