Help KCIL this Christmas to continue its work supporting disabled adults and children in your local area into 2025. This festive season, we are fundraising to support our befriending projects. Each £50 raised provides much-needed funds for us to host three disabled people at one of our events in 2025. We’re excited to see what 2025 will bring; we’re looking forward to adding activities such as chair yoga, drumming, and much more to our befriending events, plus our annual favourite, the KCIL boat trip.
You can help KCIL in five easy ways;
KCIL has had a busy year this year.
KCIL’s PA support services in Kingston, Richmond and Sutton have been busy connecting PAs with disabled people and their families.
Our SEND Brokerage services have supported families in managing their Personal Health Budgets and Education and Health Care Plans.
The KCIL-run Independent Travel Training Team in Sutton has expanded to include two travel trainers. The team supports young people with special educational needs and disabilities in learning to travel independently by public transport, increasing their independence and creating new opportunities for study, work, and leisure.
KCIL’s Accessibility Officer has been supporting local disabled people with accessibility issues and advising local organisations on making their facilities more accessible.
The KCIL team has supported local disabled people with information, advice, and guidance on disability-related issues, such as PIP and Blue Badges.
The KCIL event team has been out in the community across Kingston and Sutton, offering free PA and carer training, community picnics, befriending sessions, trips to local nature reserves, and more.
We are immensely grateful for your support this year. Help us to have an even busier year next year. Thank you!
