With the country going into the lockdown again from Thursday, we expect there will be changes to the library provision too.

For all the updates about the Library Service in Kensington and Chelsea over the next month, please head over to our website, where you will find the latest information and the most recent updates related to Covid-19 and the libraries service.

We are going to continue providing you with a full programme of online events – talks, workshops and book clubs, as well as a boosted virtual offer of sessions for children and adults on our social media platforms.

We are hosting the 12th annual London History Festival in the last two weeks of November, but before that, we have some fantastic events to help you through the lockdown.

Come along, enjoy and learn with us!

Taking place on World Diabetes Day (14 November), the United Through Diabetes online event will bring together healthcare professionals and people living with diabetes.

This free to attend, patient-led event, will include inspirational sessions and up-to-date information to help people living with all types of diabetes, and their families and friends.

Colleagues from our NHS Diabetes programme will be talking to attendees about the latest technologies and tools to help people manage their condition during the coronavirus pandemic and beyond.

We are delighted to be launching our Peer Leadership Development programme, as part of our commitment to develop 500 peer leaders by 2024.

Our innovative online personal development programme is for people with lived experience who are committed to working collaboratively with the NHS to help shape how health and care are delivered.
