Join us for Healthier Homes training:
helping local people live more comfortably and safely at home
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham invite you to attend a free training session as part of their Healthier Homes project.
Imagine living in a home which you can’t keep warm and struggling with damp and mould on your walls. Imagine risking a fall each time you use the stairs because there’s no handrail, or a shock each time you use the lights because the wiring is so old. Imagine not having enough to eat, or not being able to eat a balanced diet, because you don’t have access to or money for good quality food.
Too many people living in our Boroughs face these problems every day, putting their health and wellbeing at risk. Healthier Homes training is designed to help.
Healthier Homes training is available free of charge in the Boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham. The training is designed for frontline workers, volunteers and others who work with vulnerable local residents.

– Tuesday 15 September (2pm – 4pm) – Kensington Town Hall
– Wednesday 23 September (2pm – 4pm) – Hammersmith Town Hall

The training will be interactive and informative, giving you the chance to ask plenty of questions and practice your skills.
