The Charities & Community group encourages and coordinates fundraising and volunteering within the firm. Every two years, the group asks for nominations and we then focus our efforts on making a real difference for the chosen charities during their two year term.
We don't just do this because we know it is the right thing to do. It's also because we know that we are in a position, both individually and a firm, to make a real difference within our local community.
From 2024-26 we will be supporting the following charities:
The Listening Place
The Listening Place provides free, confidential and ongoing face-to-face listening, by appointment, to people who feel that life is no longer worth living.
Suicide kills around 18 a day in the UK and is the major single cause of death in men under the age of 49 in the UK. Most of those who die have sought but not found support and help.
New Horizon Youth Centre
For over half a century, New Horizon has been working with the young Londoners who have been pushed into homelessness or danger. It provides young Londoners experiencing homelessness personalised support to give their potential a home.
we have also assisted a number of other great causes
- We took part in both the Surfers Against Sewage and the Marine Conservation Society Beach clean ups.
- We have helped build a garden and safe space for children at St Peter and St Paul Primary School in Clerkenwell.
- With the help of KN volunteers, transformed the garden of a young girl with health challenges to enhance her quality of life.
