London Borough of Camden
In Camden we’re proud of our diversity – it’s what makes Camden special. Our borough has a long history of coming together to stand up against injustice and bring about change. We want to make Camden a place where everyone has a chance to succeed and where nobody gets left behind. One of our ambitions for the future of the borough is for it to be a place where we actively tackle injustice and inequality, creating safe, strong and open communities where everyone can contribute. As part of this, we are a ‘borough of sanctuary’, a place where everyone is welcome and where we acknowledge that new arrivals enrich Camden and the UK. Together we are creating a place that works for everyone and where everyone has a voice.
