Become a member of the Kensington + Chelsea Foundation
Each year, our Patrons and Champions help us deliver tailored and targeted support to tens of thousands of vulnerable residents across Kensington + Chelsea.
You provide a lifeline to residents in need and help to tackle the key issues identified through our 2021 research report, ‘Poverty and Prosperity in Kensington + Chelsea’. In the three years since our report, we have raised over £4 million to help residents improve their skills and employment potential, to improve their mental health, or improve their education outcomes.
‘The support and funding received from the Kensington + Chelsea Foundation is instrumental and of the utmost importance in giving us the means to continue providing the very much needed support that our…local community needs.’ – North Kensington Law Centre
Patrons and Champions have helped us to tutor disadvantaged children and young people to improve their grades; bring socially isolated residents together through projects like the Men’s Shed; and coach unemployed local residents to improve their confidence and find work.
Become a Patron or Champion of the Kensington + Chelsea Foundation today, to move closer to our work and join an extraordinary group of people who share your passion for improving the lives and life chances of everyone in our community.

"Life has treated us well, and as we look to what lies ahead and to our own mortality, I believe that many of us wonder how we can add value to the future."
