PUBLIC INFORMATION PAGES FROM CAMDEN COUNCIL

Camden Council stands in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and the call to end racism within every aspect of our society, and we are committed to working alongside our BAME community to bring about the change that is so needed. We recognise the horrendous and disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on our BAME communities. Our BAME Inequalities and COVID-19 Working Group is one way we are responding to this issue in relation to the current pandemic, to help us respond to the virus and reduce the impact it is having on our BAME communities.

This week we’ll be hosting our second Youth Shout Out, where we will continue to listen to our young people’s concerns around what COVID-19 means for them and discuss ways we can support them.

It’s also Carers Week, and I want to thank every single carer out there, from paid carers to people caring for a partner, family member, friend or neighbour – the work you do is incredibly important to our community, especially during this time. If you are finding this vital work difficult or lonely, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask for support.

Councillor Georgia Gould, Leader of Camden Council
