Charity

Each year, from nominations by local residents, the Kew Sparkle Committee selects a charity to support from the proceeds of Kew Sparkle. The aim is to raise the profile of the charity through a stall at Kew Sparkle as well as raising money through the charity raffle.

If you wish to nominate a charity, please email.

Since Kew Sparkle started, we have raised over
£30,000
for charity!
