On 14 June 2017, 72 lives were lost at Grenfell in what was a preventable tragedy. The community, and many of those who have been working with them, want to ensure that lessons are learnt both from the tragedy itself and how public services reacted in the aftermath.

Fatima Elguenuni works alongside Robyn Doran at Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust. Fatima’s son, Bellal Elguenuni, and Natasha Elcock are members of Grenfell United, campaigning to ensure systems change to meet the needs of the victims and survivors.

In January 2020, Fatima, Robyn, Bellal and Natasha shared their thoughts on what happened at Grenfell, what they had learnt and what systems need to hear with staff at The King’s Fund. In this blog they reflect on those lessons.
