Seven charities across the capital have received a funding boost as part of Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards to support their vital work.
The Bat Conservation Trust and the Greenwich Wildlife network have both been awarded £5,000 donations, while Animal Free Research UK, The Oasis Community Hub, Society of Jesus Trust Of 1929 for Roman Catholic Purposes, The Movement and Royal Borough of Kingston Cares (RBKares), have each received £1,000.
RBKares, based in Kingston upon Thames, is a volunteer-run charity that brings together residents and services to support those in need across the borough. Dedicated to making a, tangible difference, the charity fills gaps in support and complements local services. Through their swift responses, RBKares addresses the needs of hospital workers, carers, refugees, care home residents, and other vulnerable groups.
Kate Kenyon, Founder & Chair of RBKares said: “We were absolutely delighted when we heard the fantastic news. This £1000 will make such a difference to a small charity like ours. RBKares is a fully volunteer-run charity that unites Kingston residents and services to support community members in need. Its mission is to make a personal, tangible difference by filling support gaps and complementing local services. RBKares galvanises volunteers and partners to run impactful projects, such as monthly wellbeing days, weekly refugee sewing workshops, Warmer in Winter projects, community knitting campaigns and supporting other local charities and groups.”
