How we can work together to give back to the community
Advice and Expertise – we have both the data and the connections to frontline charities to provide a clear overview of the needs in our borough and the partners and projects best placed to address them. We can direct your philanthropic interest towards initiatives likely to have the greatest impact and make lasting change. We commit to carrying out the due diligence on each charity we recommend, offer opportunities for employees to engage with the charities they support. and provide updates and impact reports over time.
Fundraising support – we rely on the generous donations of individuals and businesses to support our work. We can help you come up with fundraising ideas to engage your staff and customers, provide materials and a speaker for your events and report back on projects you’ve helped to support. We also run borough-wide community fundraising events throughout the year which we encourage residents and businesses to take part in.
Volunteering opportunities – every month we can share a selection of the best local volunteering opportunities for staff who want to get more hands on in the community
Employment initiatives – some of our projects focus on helping local people to develop their skills and find meaningful employment. We would love to discuss how you can support local residents into jobs in your industry
Communications – we can make sure the community knows that you are giving back, through profiling your sponsorship of one of our events, or featuring your support in our newsletter which reaches our local supporters

“Our partnership with KCF is working really well. There are new initiatives (to support) all the time. The one we are currently most proud of is our support of an employment programme, where we provide funding and mentor disillusioned youngsters and encourage them to get into the workplace. This has been immensely rewarding for us and our employees. I’ve never had employee engagement like I’ve had through our support of this project.”
David Mercer, CEO, LMAX Group
