K+C Foundation fast response to COVID-19
On 19th March, following the rapid escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns about the challenges faced by many of our local partners delivering services to vulnerable residents, K+C Foundation launched a COVID-19 Appeal. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the community, they have to date raised £738,000 to help frontline organisations delivering crisis response work in the borough. With the help of supporters and community organisations, K+C has been able to make a difference to over 11,000 vulnerable people in their community so far.
To date, they have supported 40 organisations that have been delivering essential food services, providing mental health support, offering employment advice and digital devices to vulnerable families. One of the organisations that have been funded by the Lightbulb Trust through K+C Foundation COVID appeal is Solidarity Sports who works with children facing a range of complex needs, including neglect, abandonment, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
During the COVID-19 crisis, Solidarity Sports provided vulnerable children and young people with necessary IT equipment so they could access educational resources and families could stay connected during the pandemic. In addition, 100 families were given weekly support through food supplies, care packages, essential household items and a video buddying service.
Recovery and Rebuilding
Eight weeks after K+C Foundation launched the appeal, they continue to receive requests for support from local partners and are particularly aware of the increase in demand for services including mental health support, employment advice and support for families at risk. With that in mind, K+C’s COVID-19 appeal remains open to support West London based organisations who lost significant income due to cancelled fundraising events.
K+C Foundation prepared a video that captures some of the incredible work they have been able to support. Read their full update and list of supported organisations here.
