About
We Make Camden
In the past few years, Camden has come together in new and inspiring ways to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing the borough. In March 2022, we published We Make Camden – our refreshed vision for the future of Camden. It sets out what we want to collectively achieve and lead together and was developed following conversations with residents, partners and community leaders.
We Make Camden highlights the big issues facing Camden that we all agree are important, alongside practical ways we can make change together and the change we want to see in the short, medium and long term. We’d love for as many people as possible to get involved. Find out how to get involved.
Camden Missions
Camden Missions are the long-term goals for the future of our borough that were developed in collaboration with people across Camden. Camden has identified ten big issues facing the borough, which include four Camden Missions and six Camden Challenges.
The Missions evolved from the work of Camden’s Renewal Commission. While the Renewal Commission came to an end in 2021, we embraced its recommendations to progress these Missions so they remain at the heart of our work as we look to the future. They are long-term goals which help to break down and tackle big, complex issues across Camden.

Measuring change
We’ve published our first annual State of the Borough report to give a snapshot of what life is like in Camden, and to help us keep track of progress.
In the report you’ll find data, evidence and stories from our communities. We’ll use this report alongside our residents and partners to identify what needs to change and how we can make that change happen together.
You can download and read the whole State of the Borough report, or have a look at some of the key facts and statistics from the report.
How to get involved
