How We Help

Kingston Charitable Foundation supports local charities and volunteer organisations that address inequalities across Kingston upon Thames. By working together, we help create opportunities for those that are most in need. We invest in these groups by distributing grants and sharing available resources to bring about positive change.

Hot Lunches + Warm Hubs

Kingston Charitable Foundation and RBKares have worked together to create an A5 leaflet detailing support for our community for every day of the week. Please share widely - this leaflet needs to reach the right people, and fast.

Thank you, City Bridge Foundation.

Your funding will help us ensure donations make the biggest impact. 🌟
