Kingston Voluntary Action is an infrastructure organisation that provides a wide range of support to the voluntary sector. We support local charities and community groups at all stages of their development.
Our capacity building services are available to all charities and community groups in the Kingston borough.
'Capacity building is whatever is needed to bring a nonprofit to the next level of operational, programmatic, financial, or organisational maturity, so it may more effectively and efficiently advance its mission into the future'.
