What is Link UP London?

Why KVA is offering Link UP London support

As the local infrastructure organisation for Kingston, KVA is committed to helping our VCSE sector become stronger, more resilient, and better connected.

By bringing Link UP London’s skilled volunteering service to the borough, we aim to support the delivery of social value in Kingston by:

• Growing skills and organisational strength - skilled volunteers help organisations improve strategy, systems and processes, making services stronger and more effective.
• Tackling inequality through capacity building - by supporting organisations that work with marginalised communities, Link UP London helps reduce structural and economic inequalities.
• Connecting business professionals with community organisations - this partnership enables companies to deliver meaningful, skills‑based social value by supporting grassroots organisations.
• Supporting Kingston’s Social Value ecosystem - skilled volunteering complements Kingston’s broader social value commitments, including digital inclusion, workforce development, community capacity-building and partnership working..
