Our projects and volunteers are united by a common goal – to turn goodwill into meaningful action that shows RBK (Royal Borough of Kingston) cares.
RBKares’s campaigns continue to harness the kindness in the community but have evolved since we were first founded to encompass wider wellbeing support for vulnerable people in the borough. Key to our approach is bringing together local charities, schools, residents’ associations and councillors.
In addition to our monthly wellbeing events we run a wide variety of creative campaigns, ranging from making ‘winter warmer bags’ for rough sleepers and Christmas gifts for care home residents and young carers, to baking to raise morale for overstretched NHS hospital workers and weekly refugee sewing activity.
We also work with local schools to inspire students to understand the benefits and need of supporting those less fortunate in their community, from encouraging primary school children to create Christmas cards for isolated or elderly residents to working with a local school to set up a hot drinks station during the cold winter months.
If you’d like to get involved in any of our projects or have a suggestion for a new one, please get in touch.
