Can you help young people learn during lockdown?
With schools closed, we’re working to ensure all Camden pupils can continue to learn from home, including providing access to laptops and WiFi connections. We’re asking businesses to donate spare equipment, or to sponsor the provision of laptops and connections.
We’re also calling on Camden employers to be part of a pioneering Virtual Work Experience Programme, providing local students with their first experiences of work this June/July. Find out more on how to get involved.

The increasing risk has led National Trading Standards to launch Businesses Against Scams – a free online training tool to help protect businesses. Sign up and take the training:
