On Wednesday, 27th November 2024, KBH was proud to support the Pembury Elder’s Christmas Lunch, held at the Pembury Community Centre, Hackney. This wonderful event brought together local elders for a festive day of hot Christmas dinner, entertainment and community spirit.

Our team gave their time to set up the lunch, serve meals to the guests, and ensure everything ran smoothly by assisting with the cleanup. We were also delighted to host the raffle and provide gifts to make the celebration even more special.

It was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful occasion and contribute to creating a warm, joyful experience for the local community.

Together, we celebrate the power of connection and the importance of giving back

KBH proudly supported the Charlton Triangle community by contributing £500 towards a festive Christmas lunch held on 5th December. The event brought families and neighbours together to celebrate the holiday season with good food, laughter, and community spirit.

In addition to the financial contribution, KBH generously donated a further £500 worth of raffle prizes, ensuring that every child in attendance received a special gift, including a selection box to spread some extra holiday cheer.

We’re delighted to have been part of this wonderful occasion and to support the Charlton Triangle community in making the season memorable for all.

We are honoured to support the Homeless Soldier Project. The Regiment Support Service runs this vital initiative to provide much needed financial aid, accommodation and reintegration programmes for homeless soldiers across the United Kingdom.

Receiving this certificate of appreciation reminds us of the power of coming together for a meaningful cause, especially during these challenging financial times.

Making a Difference Together!

We spent a wonderful afternoon at Enfield Foyer, Edmonton with the amazing residents of Christian Action, helping to clear and tidy their communal garden.

The garden was disused, but now it's a place where residents can relax, socialise and enjoy being outside. We're proud to have played a part in creating a space that fosters wellbeing, community and connection. We look forward to returning and making some additional improvements…watch this space!

Over three weekends, our team worked hard help Three Butterflies Nursery AKA Little Nests in Lewisham. The nursery is a vital community resource for the @peabodyldn residents and their little ones. This community hub makes a significant impact and helps ensure that all children in the area have access to the care and early education they deserve.

Here's what we’ve donated, made and installed:

• Brand new nursery signage
• Parents' noticeboards

• Provided and installed new bathroom door
• Cosy entrance seating area

• Provided plants

• Provided and installed shelves
• Busy boards toys for the babies
• Tidied up the overgrown garden
• Window planters and a planting station
• Floating shelves & room divider
• Weatherproof shelter around the entrance
• Gate protection to keep animals out
• Sandpit refresh with new lining and sand
• Bug hotels for our little explorers
• Made planters for little green fingers!
• Constructed a wall partition
• Laid repurposed carpet tiles – donated by Mulalley & Co

We believe in the power of giving back to spaces that shape our community. It was a labour of love and we couldn’t be more proud to help support this wonderful centre!

A PIECE OF HISTORY, FULLY RESTORED!

The restoration of this Grade II listed K2 phone booth was a joy to work on. When we first stepped in, it was in desperate need of care, broken glass, faded paint and structural issues but today, it stands proud and revitalised!

In the spirit of giving back, we volunteered our time and materials, here’s what we did:
• Repaired the iconic iron frame and splice-repaired the door.

• Replaced broken glass with safety glass.

• Completely repainted to match its original design by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.

• Installed new door handles.

• Donated 100 books for kids to enjoy!

This project was a team effort and a lot of work went into it! The project was entirely managed by the FS&A of William Tyndale School, they manage the insta page too @upperstreetlittlelibrary. The design was created by @dominicmckenziearchitects the bespoke metal shelving was fabricated by @metalworkslondon. The books now sit in their new home perfectly illuminated by discreet LED lighting, complimenting the school colour.

We were so excited to attend the opening of the Upper Street Little Library and we’re so proud to have helped bring this phone booth back to life for the community and future generations to enjoy!

Additionally to the phone box library we provided planters to the school to brighten their entrance.
