Friday 14 June 2024 marks the seventh anniversary of the Grenfell tragedy.
The day belongs to the community and there are a range of community-led events taking place in the local area, including the Silent Walk which will gather from 6pm and set off at 6:30pm from Notting Hill Methodist Church.
If you or a loved one needs support during the anniversary, please contact the Grenfell Health and Wellbeing Service by calling 020 8637 6279 every day from 8am to 8pm or visiting the service's website.
Cllr Elizabeth Campbell, Leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council, said:
“Our thoughts will always be with the people who lost their lives, their loved ones and their homes on 14 June 2017. This Council could and should have done more to keep our residents safe before the fire, and to care for them in the aftermath.
“We know how important the long-awaited Grenfell Inquiry report will be for the bereaved, survivors and the community. We are committed to learning from the report and recommendations, to ensure that a tragedy like Grenfell can never happen again. Whilst the date is set for it to be published in September, we know that this is not the end of the road to justice for those affected.
“We will keep working to rebuild our relationship with our communities as we strive to meet the challenge the bereaved and survivors have set us – to become the best Council for our residents and change the culture of our organisation for good, as a lasting legacy of the tragedy.”
