Community Strategy and accompanying publications
The Future of Our Community 2008 – 2018:
The third community strategy for the Royal Borough of
Kensington and Chelsea
A new and third Community Strategy for Kensington and Chelsea
was published by the Kensington and Chelsea Partnership at the end
of 2008. ‘The Future of Our Community, Community Strategy 2008 –
2018’ is a collaborative effort on behalf of the Council, the
Police, the Fire Service, NHS Kensington and Chelsea, voluntary
organisations and the local business community. The new strategy
contains updated ambitions, aims and objectives and highlights new
projects and policy developments that have emerged since the 2005
Community Strategy, underpinned by extensive public
consultation.
A Picture of Our Community:
Facts and figures about the Royal Borough of Kensington and
Chelsea 2008
The strategy is accompanied by 'A Picture of Our Community –
Facts and figures about the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
2008', which presents a range of the latest information,
statistical analysis and indicators to provide a comprehensive
picture of the Royal Borough and the people who live in, work in
and visit the borough. The 2008 version of 'A Picture of Our
Community' is the second edition of the publication. You can
download each chapter of the document here:
Delivering for Our Community
The Kensington and Chelsea Partnership has produced a delivery
plan for the third Community Strategy entitled 'Delivering for Our
Community'.' Delivering for Our Community' contains a set of
performance measures to show progress against the aims and
objectives within the Community Strategy, and sets targets for
achievement in the future. 'Delivering for Our Community' is also
known as the full new Local Area Agreement for Kensington and
Chelsea and therefore contains a set of targets negotiated with
Government, called ‘designated’ Local Area Agreement targets. These
are denoted with *.
'Delivering for Our Community' will be updated regularly to take
account of new performance data and information as this becomes
available. The Kensington and Chelsea Partnership will also publish
a progress report showing how well the Partnership is meeting the
performance targets in the plan, on an annual basis.
The Future Of Our Community 2005-2015:
The second Community Strategy for the Royal Borough of
Kensington and Chelsea
In November 2005 the Kensington and Chelsea Partnership
published its second Community Strategy entitled 'The Future of Our
Community 2005 – 2015'. The strategy presents a long-term vision to
enhance quality of life for local communities, co-ordinating the
actions of the public agencies and private and community
organisations in the borough.

Improving our Community - Monitoring the delivery of the
Community Strategy 2006-2009
This monitoring plan accompanies the 2005 Community Strategy and
presents a suite of performance indicators to monitor progress
against the aims in the Community Strategy. Organised around the
eight themes of the Community Strategy the monitoring plan contains
a mix of quantitative and qualitative performance measures which
when put together enable the Partnership to measure progress
against the strategy’s aims and ambitions.
Community Strategy 2005 update, published 2007
The Partnership carried out a mid term review of the 2005
Community Strategy in October 2007 and published an update of the
aims and objectives of the strategy. The update is meant to be read
in conjunction with the 2005 strategy.
The Future of Our Community 2002: the first Community Strategy
for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
The first Community Strategy for Kensington and Chelsea was
published in 2002 and was developed together with the Neighbourhood
Renewal Strategy entitled 'Renewing Our Neighbourhoods 2002'. To
receive support from the government’s Neighbourhood Renewal Fund,
the Kensington and Chelsea Partnership was required to produce a
Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy detailing specific actions to be
delivered in the most deprived parts of the borough. The Community
Strategy presented an overall vision and some broad themes, and the
Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy related these to the different
localities within the borough.
Renewing our Neighbourhoods Strategy Statement and Action 2002:
the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy for the Royal Borough of
Kensington and Chelsea
Two further documents supported development of the first
Community Strategy and the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy; a
'Summary of Progress', detailing preparatory work for the strategy
and 'Area Profiles’, showing research, statistics and information
about the borough.
Community Strategy and Neighbourhood Renewal Progress Report
2004
In 2004 the Kensington and Chelsea Partnership looked at each of
the objectives in the 2002 Community Strategy and Neighbourhood
Renewal Strategy to assess how well these were being achieved.
Neighbourhood Renewal Fund evaluation 2004/05 - 2005/06
The Kensington and Chelsea Partnership was awarded further
Neighbourhood Renewal Funding from 2004/05 to 2005/06. A
variety of projects were supported to improve quality of life in
the most deprived areas of the borough. Using quantitative and
qualitative research methodologies, this report evaluates the
success of the three years of Neighbourhood Renewal Funding.
Local Area Agreements
The Local Area Agreement is known as a set of targets which show
how the Partnership is delivering its priorities in the local area.
In Kensington and Chelsea, the Local Area Agreement is 'Delivering
for Our Community' since this is the delivery plan for the
Community Strategy which sets out the Partnership's priorities in
the local area. 'Delivering for Our Community' consists of
'designated targets', which are those targets the Partnership
negotiated with Government and 'local targets', which are those
targets partners negotiated amongst themselves. As with the
Community Strategy, 'Delivering for Our Community' was developed by
consulting each of the organisations within the Partnership to
determine what measures should be used to track progress in
delivering the Community Strategy.
'Delivering for Our Community' is the second Local Area
Agreement for Kensington and Chelsea.
