You're Invited to The Way to Wellbeing Campaign Launch

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster City Council are launching a mental health and emotional wellbeing campaign called ‘Way to Wellbeing’.
 
The campaign celebrates a new online mental health wellbeing hub and training offer.
 
The Wellbeing Hubs are directories of mental health and wellbeing services, and training opportunities from community groups, the NHS, Westminster City Council, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Council and private organisations. It is designed for residents, health professionals, voluntary community, and faith sector organisations.
 
We invite residents and partners to join us to hear more about the campaign and explore how we can work together for our residents’ wellbeing.
