Positioned in the UK’s most affluent borough, North Kensington is one of the most impacted communities by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the cost of living crisis, the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy, and many other socio-environmental injustices.

In what is a relatively small borough (143,900 residents), the wealth and outcomes gap continues to widen, while poverty and deprivation, and their impact, continue to deepen. This is most emphasised by the average life expectancy difference within the borough—nearly a 20 year difference, as reported most recently by K+C Foundation: Poverty and Prosperity in K+C: A Deepening Divide.
