Fundraising Appeal

We continue to receive generous donations to our Fundraising Appeal both from many of the Churches in Kingston and from individuals.

The money has been used to help our work with the homeless in Kingston and to contribute to our general tenants’ welfare fund. Projects to date include:
  • We spent £6,500 installing a much-needed new central heating system for the single homeless project which at the time we ran jointly with Kingston Churches Action on Homeless (KCAH).
  • In 2016, we upgraded our two communal lounges at our sheltered schemes in Raynes Park and Wimbledon to include brand new furniture, soft furnishings, decoration and artwork. These rooms have since played host to several group activities and until lockdown in 2020, a regular quiz night hosted by the Chief Executive.
  • In 2018 we allocated significant financial resources into a scheme designed to help our older and disabled tenants with decorations to their homes (all tenants are normally responsible for their own internal decorations).
  • In 2021 we launched our updated website to allow tenants to find out more easily about our work and plans for the future, to report repairs online, to let us know their views and so forth.
  • The fund has helped us to maintain the community based alarms in our sheltered schemes when other funding was withdrawn.
​ 
There are many more opportunities like this to help our work. So thanks to all the Churches and individuals who have given so generously to date – but if you would like to contribute to our continuing Fundraising Appeal please contact us directly.
