Our concept is simple. We provide the means for individuals and organisations to establish their own charitable 'funds' which, alongside our own general endowment, provide benefit to local people. We offer all the pleasure of giving without any of the hassle. We champion small groups and organisations, going out of our way to find local charities, community groups and voluntary organisations that need support. We guide them through our various funds in order to help them achieve their aims, which are in the main to improve quality of life for the people of Kent. Kent Community Foundation is seven years old this year. When the Foundation was established in 2001 it would have been difficult to conceive that seven years on more than £8.5 million would have been distributed to in excess of 3000 groups and organisations benefiting literally tens of thousands of people across Kent. A huge thank you goes to all those who have given and continue to give us their support. It is because of such people and organisations that in our seventh year alone we will be able to distribute close to £2.6 million and our donors 'endowed' funds have grown to in excess of £1.3 million

Zellweger UK

YTD Raised: £463.00Supporting families impacted by Zellweger Spectrum Disorder, and helping to fund much needed medical research for this rare and devastating condition. Zellweger Spectrum Disorder affects approximately 1 in 50,000 children worldwide. As it's so rare specialists in the condition are few and far between, and families can feel cut off. As parents ourselves, some who have sadly already lost their children to ZSD, we know how scared and cut off families can feel. Our aim is to be a source of support both financially by way of small grants, and emotionally. Nobody understand ZSD better than other families on the spectrum. There is currently no affective treatments for ZSD; only management of some of the symptoms. We aim to help towards funding desperately needed medical research in the hope of better diagnostics, effective treatments, and one day, even a cure.
