RBKares is a fully volunteer run charity that connects the kindness and generosity of the community in Kingston-Upon-Thames with vulnerable people and key-workers. Set up during the pandemic, RBKares focuses on providing local support to NHS staff, care homes and to other vulnerable groups including refugees, the elderly, people struggling with the cost of living and the homeless. Campaigns range from monthly wellbeing events for vulnerable and homeless people to 'winter warmer bags’, from care home Christmas gifts to refugee sewing groups, from projects supporting Kingston Hospital to boosting morale of young carers. We use the community's sewing and crafting skills to make items, distribute kindness kits and sort donations. Our goal is to make a difference on a personal level, by plugging support gaps or by complementing local services to support community members. We deliver projects that make a real difference. RBKares creates social change, tackles inequality and makes the community a kinder, better place to live.
