Over the last 12 months, our foundation for Kingston, has awarded 47 grants to local charitable organisations, working to address social need, community cohesion and climate change, details of which are included in our latest Impact Report.

Our report provides a window through which to view what we have collectively achieved for our shared community over the past year, and how funding from Place Based Giving schemes, such as ours can enrich the lives and wellbeing of so many.

Grants were awarded in eight key areas: Food Poverty and Support; Supporting Families Facing Hardship; Community Facilities and Cohesion; Movement and Sports Access; Mental Health; Disability Support; Advocacy and Support and the Environment, which all reflected the needs of individuals and community groups in Kingston. 

Each grant was carefully tailored to support the needs of local charitable organisations working at the heart of our shared community, helping individuals and families. 

Over the past 12 months, we have almost doubled the number of grants we awarded in our first year as an independent registered charity. We have further plans to widen the scope of our funding streams in 2023.
