On 28 November, New Dialogue became the new home of Healthwatch Kingston upon Thames.

Since its creation, our organisation has been registered as the charitable company ‘Healthwatch Kingston upon Thames’, established to deliver the Healthwatch statutory service for the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.

Following careful consideration, the Healthwatch Kingston Board agreed to change the charitable company name to ‘New Dialogue’.

This change relates solely to our organisation’s name. The legal entity remains the same, and there is no change to governance, staff, or the delivery of the Healthwatch Kingston upon Thames statutory service.
