The Victoria Foundation transforming lives

‘We wanted to thank the Victoria foundation and their supporters for the grant to purchase a specialist buggy for Courtney.  It will greatly improve her quality of life and means she will be able to take part in all outdoor activities. Thank you all for making this possible.'

The Victoria Foundation has funded eight accessible mini-buses for RaKAT which help to ensure the elderly in the boroughs of Richmond and Kingston boroughs are not isolated at home. The cost of a fully accessible 15 seat minibus is over £64,000.

Each year The Victoria Foundation aims to support over 80 medical students from lower socio-economic backgrounds within widening participation in medicine by awarding Toolkit Grants and Elective Bursaries to help cover  the cost of medical equipment, textbooks, travel to hospital placements and electives. In addition, the charity funds textbooks for c70 students on the Extended Medical Degree course MBBS (EMDP) at King’s College London.

‘We were delighted to receive funding from The Victoria Foundation to help us provide equipment for our multi-purpose Gathering Rooms in the Spirituality &  Wellbeing Centre at the heart of Kingston Hospital’s Esher Wing.  Throughout the pandemic these rooms have continued to be used as extension office spaces for the team, providing a great space to hold confidential virtual meetings away from the open office environment."
