Impact & Influence

Last year we distributed 622 grants to the value of £2.52million to small, local charities and individuals, where a modest sum of money can make a significant impact.

KCF's enthusiasm for what we are doing and hoping to do, coupled with helpful advice, gave us the confidence to take this daunting step which has paid off.
