Small Steps

We are extremely grateful for these much-needed funds. As you know, all the
children who attend Small Steps have a physical disability affecting their movement and posture. Your grant will help us to continue to support our families and provide additional resources for the children to help them to develop skills across all areas: physical, cognitive, communication and social. We receive no statutory funding and rely on donations and grants, such as yours, to continue to operate.

ASCA (Addiction Support & Care Agency)

The grant was a wonderful surprise. Thank you for understanding the destructive nature substance issues can have on families. Your donation has enabled us to help family members and carers to focus on their wellbeing as well as to meet and share their experiences with others in similar situations.

Orange Tree Theatre

We are so grateful to Kew Fete for the generous donation. As a local charity we rely on the support of our community, and this gift will help us continue to share outstanding theatre in the round, and to inspire audiences and Kew, Richmond, and beyond.

Kew Community Trust

I am delighted to let you know that we are making progress towards the installation of the defibrillator on an external wall of Kew Community Centre so it will be available to everyone in Kew. We are so grateful for the generosity of Kew Fete as this will make a real difference within the community.

Brighter Together

Your support will help us run inter-generational sessions across nine care homes and day centres in the borough, bringing together older adults and children from local nursery schools.  Each week children and adults connect through activities, gamesand music — building friendships, laughter and wellbeing across the generations. We’re excited to see these groups thrive, and grateful to Kew Fete for helping tomake it possible.

The Purple Elephant Project

Thank you to the organisers of Kew Fete for donating towards our work. The funding will be used to purchase equipment and materials for our Play and Art therapy sessions with children and young people, aged 4-16 across the local area, supporting the improvement of their mental health and wellbeing.

SPEAR

Thank you to everyone who organised, attended and contributed to Kew Fete
for your generous donation which enables our teams to continue to support people experiencing or facing homelessness when and where they need us most. For over 35 years SPEAR have helped to rebuild the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in our community in South West London. Thank you for being part of our story.

Park Lane Stables RDA

Many thanks once again for the donation which we will be using towards rubber matting which provides a comfortable stable for the amazing equines for our Riding for the Disabled Group, and also helps both the environment and our costs by reducing the amount of bedding which is needed.

React

As a local charity assisting families not only going through unimaginable heartache, but who are struggling to access equipment and aid essential to their child’s care, this kind award will have a truly profound impact on those families we support. Thanks to the Committee’s generosity, React will be able to respond positively to more of the urgent requests, ensuring gravely ill children have access to greater comfort, dignity and, where possible, a significant level of independence.

Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank

Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank operates seven foodbank sites across Richmond Borough, including Barnes, Mortlake and central Richmond.  We are extremely grateful to Kew Fete for their wonderful donation to help the hundreds of families and individuals from the Kew area who come to us for emergency food and support.

Riverbank Trust

Thank you for your kind donation. The generous funding from Kew Fete helps
Riverbank Trust to bring hope and support to single mums and their families who are facing vulnerable situations.

Hounslow Community FoodBox

Your donation will enable us to refurbish our collection point, creating a warmer and more welcoming space for the local people who rely on us. With demand for our services at record levels, ensuring that those who come to us feel dignity, warmth and respect is just as important as providing essential supplies. A huge thank you to the Kew Fete committee, volunteers, and everyone who supported the event – your generosity is making a real difference in our community.

Crossroads Care

Your generous donation towards our 16+ Club will help us support vulnerable young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in Richmond, givingthem the tools, confidence, and care they need to thrive during the critical transition into adulthood. Warmest thanks from us all.

Kew Scout Group

Once again Kew Fete delivered. Not wanting to be left out after last years donation paid for kayaking for the scouts, the cub scouts wanted to have their first experience of it. This years grant will fund an introduction to kayaking course for up to 20 cub scouts. Many thanks.

Kew Neighbourhood Association

The donation will cover the costs of a years worth of birthday and Christmas cards for KNA clients which we know mean a lot to so many of them.
