Partnership working

Kensington and Chelsea Compact

The Kensington and Chelsea Compact exists to strengthen working relations between the public, voluntary and community sectors.  It contains a set of principles and standards which guide these relationships.

Who is the Compact for?

Kensington and Chelsea contains one of the most diverse populations in London. The Compact aims to provide a framework for ensuring good practice for those organisations involved in providing services for local residents from all communities.

The Compact is relevant to all voluntary and community groups working in the Royal Borough, not just those funded by the local public sector.

Sign up to the Compact

We want local voluntary and community groups to sign up to the Kensington and Chelsea Compact to show that they support its commitments and principles.

Sign up using our online form to submit a few details about your organisation.

We will then send you a certificate to confirm that you are on the register of organisations supporting the Compact.

Compact Champions

To ensure that the Compact is understood and implemented fully and consistently, we want to develop a network of Compact Champions  across the voluntary, community and public sector to promote and encourage a Compact way of working.

Being a Champion does not involve extra work, but it may sometimes involve additional reading and time in advising others.  It is primarily about encouraging a way of working within your organisation, sector or service that helps to make your work more effective and add value.

We are looking for Champions who are trustees or workers within a funded group with experience of delivery the Compact principles.

If you are interested in becoming a Compact Champion please contact us on by email: community.engagment@rbkc.gov.uk, or tel: 020 7598 4633
