Kingston Charitable Foundation established to support community projects
Love Kingston, formerly part of Kingston Voluntary Action, recently achieved independent charitable status, establishing the Kingston Charitable Foundation.
The Kingston Charitable Foundation will build on the reputation and heritage of Love Kingston, which has raised funds for - and given out £116,000 in grants to - 53 organisations over the last eight years.
