Fundraising at the heart of our community, for our community

Love Kingston is a project of Kingston Voluntary Action. We work to support communities in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, now and in the future. We are one of only two boroughs in Greater London not to have a borough fund, let's pass on a stronger Kingston for future generations. All the money donated to Love Kingston stays local. 60% is invested into the legacy fund for future giving - 36% is gifted to supporting vulnerable, local charitable groups and 4% is used for running costs.

Why the community needs us

Being connected to where we live, work and learn creates healthy and happy communities. Sadly too many residents in our rapidly growing, ageing and diversifying borough are isolated from both people and place. Losing loved ones, language barriers, and mental health are just some of the challenges local people face. Our grant making has supported projects tackling isolation and encouraging integration, including; LGBT Forum, The Vintage Banquet, Refugee Action Kingston and Express CIC.

Our impact on the community

We connect those willing to give in the borough to those in need, collaborating with businesses, residents and groups. The Vintage Banquet is a lunchtime activity club for elderly residents in the borough. We have facilitated projects and our grant making has helped to provide a regular hot meal and cup of tea to those who sometimes feel alone. As one guest put it; 'In the cold and grey winter when feeling alone, I think about Vintage Banquet and suddenly the sadness is gone.'

Volunteers needed

Love Kingston are looking for volunteer data entry volunteers, Digital Champions, communications and event coordinators.
