Award Winners!

Huge congratulations to our Community Champions Kensington & Chelsea team , .community.champions &

We’re beyond proud to share that we won two awards at the Kensington & Chelsea Staff Awards 2025, including the “Becoming the Best” award, judged by resident, and Project or Moment of the Year!

K&C Staff Awards are an annual celebration that recognise outstanding contributions from teams and individuals within the borough who go above and beyond to make a real difference in our communities.

To be recognised among so many incredible projects and organisations is truly an honour. These awards celebrate the hard work, heart and dedication of our Champions, who continue to build stronger, healthier, and more connected communities across Kensington & Chelsea.

Thank you to RBKC, Public Health, our amazing Champions, and everyone who makes this project what it is.

Happy Birthday SMART...

SMART has turned 40!

From our very first days on Gertrude Street to today, SMART has always been about people.

We’re celebrating 40 years of community, creativity and connection... a journey made possible by our incredible members, staff, volunteers, and friends who have been part of our story.

This throwback brings together familiar faces and new ones, all united by one purpose: supporting mental health through meaningful recovery.

We are so proud to see how SMART has developed and grown over the years...

Partnering with to deliver the Employment, Wellness at Work, and Multiple Navigator teams;

Making our community healthier through the & .community.champions

Providing top-notch organic veg through (and yes — we’ve just been nominated for a Chelsea Award for it!);

and most recently opening our new beautiful space at Devil’s D**e in Brighton — bringing nature and recovery together...

What a journey, what a ride. Despite the recent closure of our building, it’s onward and upward!!

Here’s to the past, present, and future of SMART — and to everyone who has helped shape our community. Thank you for being part of it ❤️

And don’t forget to join us at the Bi-Borough Meeting on Thursday 9th October, 12–4pm at St Mary Abbots Church. In aid of World Mental Health Day, this year’s theme is Crisis Support. Come along, have a chat, and let’s make change together.
