Local Area Coordinators
We have Local Area Coordinators in parts of Kensington and Chelsea who will take the time to help you understand what’s happening in your life and guide you in planning the steps you need or want to take to achieve the changes you desire.
This could involve:
- taking steps to live healthier
- developing relationships and community networks
- finding opportunities to develop your skills and get into employment
Instead of assessing or intervening, Local Area Coordinators walk alongside you to help you develop your own capabilities, gifts, practical resources, and community networks. If you feel you need them, they can support you in accessing formal supports and services.
Local Area Coordinators serve the entire community and operate within the local area they are based in. They are available to everyone living in that area through a simple introduction, with no referral or time limit.
As well as helping individuals and families, they can help local community groups:
- keep going and grow by introducing more people
- finding funding opportunities
- to set up groups by supporting people when someone wants to set up their own community group and activity
This approach has been going on for many years in other places. You can read more about it.
Local Area Coordination is currently available in the Chelsea Riverside and Golborne areas.
