Kingston Voluntary Action

Welcome to KVA’s Website

We are the umbrella body for voluntary and community organisations in the outer London
Borough of Kingston upon Thames.

Our main role is to strengthen voluntary and community activity in the Borough.

We do this by developing and supporting organisations so they can deliver better services
to the local community, particularly those that are disadvantaged.
