This fantastic donation will mean that The Mulberry Centre can continue to help local people affected by cancer at a very difficult time in their lives.

We are extremely grateful for this generous donation which will be used to improve the lives of people living with dementia, supporting them to navigate legal and financial issues which are part of their unique dementia journey. Our client group has suffered greatly throughout the pandemic but we can, with this money, begin to help people overcome some of the challenges they are facing and regain control over aspects of their lives. 

The popularity of scouting in Kew is constant. With 44 boys and girls aged between six and 14 years all wanting to spend some time camping, the generous donation from Kew Fete will go towards the purchase of more compact tents to achieve this aim.

We are delighted to have received your donation which will help fund a gazebo to be used as a focal point for Squirrels, our new section for four- and five-year-olds, and as shelter from adverse weather conditions during meetings.

We are delighted to receive this kind donation to help create a vibrant and engaging lounge space enabling us to deliver a new, agile and dynamic Wellbeing Programme – with our veteran residents at its very heart.

Thank you for the donation which will enable us to train three people to be Street Pastors. Their training takes a year, is extensive and equips them to respond to the needs of the people they engage with on the streets of Richmond in the night-time economy.

It means so much to have the support of Kew Fete and we would like to thank the Committee and all of this year’s attendees for generously supporting our work once again. The donation will be put to good use, improving the quality of life for terminally ill children cared for by financially disadvantaged families.

We are delighted that our requested donation has been granted in full. We will now be able to replace the old broken gate with a five-bar straight three-quarter wooden field gate which will not only enhance the entrance to Pensford Field Nature Reserve but will provide security and easier access. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for your generosity helping young people with additional needs to thrive. Your generous donation can provide 10 months of indoor sensory-room downtime sessions for our hard-working parents, carers and their families, raising children with disabilities. It will also cover 25 fun and engaging outdoor play sessions at Marble Hill…

The Fete was a huge success and we loved being part of such a lively and giving community event.

The team are delighted that through the Fete donation we can now go ahead and buy sustainable jute shopping bags to give to those we help in North Richmond to take their food supplies home with them. We intend to extend this new initiative to those who visit us from elsewhere in the borough. With grateful thanks!

This has made a wonderful contribution to our project to provide Christmas food bags for children on free school meals. Thank you so much.

We help families facing a range of challenges including isolation, disability, mental health issues. Parents are particularly seeking support to build their children's social, emotional and life skills, and to reconnect to their local communities after the isolation of the pandemic. The generous donation from Kew Fete will fund resources such as healthy snacks and arts and crafts materials for our regular family groups and workshops and we’ll also be able to expand our range of holiday activities and nature walk resources for meet-ups in local parks and playgrounds.

What a gift Kew Fete is to the community! The team has been so helpful, and the donation to Riverbank means a number of single mums facing challenging circumstances will have important time together at Christmas when loneliness affects many in our community. Thank you, Kew Fete!

Kew Fete, through your generous donation you are helping us to support the most vulnerable in SW London.  There are many reasons why people become homeless, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Your gift helps us support people experiencing homelessness to find a place to call home and provide a range of services to improve their health, wellbeing and skills, and begin to look more positively towards an independent future. With the right support, lives can change. From all of us, thank you.

Kew Fete’s wonderful donation will enable us to have a celebratory tea party to launch a book on the 40-year history of Victoria House, Kew (Abbeyfield ) and its place in the community.

This donation will enable us to provide more places at our free informal English classes with access to local services, to new arrivals in the UK who need to acquire English language skills in order to gain employment and integrate.

As a small, Kew-based charity, we are particularly grateful to have support from the Kew Fete. Your generous donation will support our work in helping people access the mental health benefits of engaging with the natural world by delivering our ‘nature prescriptions’ for people referred by their GP for a wide range of mental health issues… We were delighted to be part of Kew Fete and to enjoy the wonderfully jubilant atmosphere.  We were able to talk to so many people about our charity’s work and our volunteers really enjoyed the community spirit of the day.  

We really appreciate your continued support especially as addiction still remains a hidden problem due to shame and stigma. Yet the impact of one person’s addiction has a devastating effect on the whole family.

Based in Richmond, Small Steps is a charity supporting young children with physical disabilities and their families. We will now be able to purchase some specialist sensory equipment, including a bubble tube, light-up toys, fibre optics and drums to help children with visual and hearing impairment. Small Steps relies totally on grants and donations to continue to operate and all sessions are free of charge to families. We are extremely grateful for your support.

We are delighted to receive a donation which will be used to purchase art and sensory/messy play equipment for use at our therapeutic centre to help support children in need.

The generosity of your donation means that we will be able to hold another 'Silver Sunday' tea this year and open up the event to more people within the community. For these elderly people, such joyous events are a real highlight, and help to reduce the social isolation they experience. Thank you again for all of your support.

The generous donation from the Kew Fete will enable us to purchase much-needed resources for our inter-generational activity sessions, including some good quality musical instruments. Music is hugely important in engaging both the children and older people, particularly those living with dementia. Thank you to all those involved in the Fete – we can now deliver some excellent sessions that will improve the wellbeing of everyone involved.

Thank you, Kew Fete, for the donation which means that we can equip our counselling room with new furniture as we continue to support those who have experienced pregnancy loss or unplanned pregnancy.
