“The foodbank was there when we really needed it, it was an absolute lifeline.”
We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally-balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
We are the Young Carers' Project, part of Kingston Carers' Network. We are a charity dedicated to supporting children and young people in the borough of Kingston-upon-Thames, between the ages of 5 and 18, who have caring responsibilities for someone at home.
Being run by those with lived-experience, we fully understand that being a Carer can be a demanding and isolating experience, and that obtaining information and support can be complicated and confusing, especially as services are always evolving.
We will help you identify the assistance that you need, for information, support and training, and we have a monthly Peer Support Carers’ Group. We offer 1:1 Advice sessions at Tolworth Hospital, on wards and in Community Services.

RBKares is a volunteer-run charity that brings Kingston residents and services together to support communities in need.
​
Our intention is to make a difference, either by plugging support gaps or complementing local services to help any Kingston resident in need, regardless of background or faith.
Our campaigns and projects benefit residents across the borough, whilst our inclusive approach helps combat loneliness and mental health challenges among volunteers.
We are a unique and exceptional education Centre in the heart of Richmond Park.
We bring learning about Science, Nature and History to life for all. We specialise in providing outstanding workshops for schools and delivering bespoke sensory sessions for children and adults with special educational needs and disabilities.
