11 of us from across the Council participated in a fantastic Survival Skills workshop led by Rachel Harris, our Education and Nature Wellbeing Officer, from the Holland Park Ecology Centre. This workshop wasn't just about practical skills, it was a great way to boost our health and wellbeing by connecting with nature! We learned valuable skills like building shelters, wood cutting, and starting fires for both cooking and staying warm. It was also a fantastic opportunity to meet new colleagues from different departments within the Council. Looking to experience the benefits of nature yourself? The Holland Park Ecology Centre offers a variety of programmes open to the public. Check out their upcoming events: https://lnkd.in/eNG-f-YV

The award-winning Kelso Cochrane House, in north Kensington, which offers the first Council-built homes in decades, was officially opened by councillors, members of Kelso’s family and community campaigners this week. The development is named in memory of Kelso Cochrane whose life was tragically cut short when attacked and murdered by a gang of white youths in Notting Hill while on his way home in 1959. https://lnkd.in/gpDDrsEj Willmott Dixon
