Who will benefit?
The Foundation is now well established and is continuing to make donations to charities. For more information on grants we have paid to date please see our Donation Schedule
In the meantime, you will see below examples of the types of charity we can help.
Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance
In January 2021, the Whitehead Monckton Charitable Foundation generously donated £5,000 towards Air Ambulance Kent Surrey Sussex’s Tempus ALS Replacement Programme. A new Tempus Pro Monitor and Tempus LS Defibrillator were purchased in March when remaining funds were secured. Please see report from KSSAA here.
Fynvola Foundation
Fynvola Foundation is a unique nursing home environment in Faversham exclusively for people with learning disabilities who need nursing and palliative end of life care. A grant of £2,000 provided by the Whitehead Monckton Charitable Foundation has been used towards the purchase of a specially adapted minibus which is required so that more of their residents can travel out into the community in safety and in comfort. The new minibus required lots of adaptation to carry wheelchairs and other specialist equipment that the residents need. Staff members are now more able to take residents out into the community to go shopping, swimming, visit local attractions or out for lunch.
RSPB
The RSPB is the country’s largest nature conservation charity, inspiring everyone to give nature a home and secure a healthy environment for wildlife. A recent initiative in Kent has been to create new habitats for breeding seabirds in Dungeness. One such project included installing viewing platforms and purchasing a boat with a ramp to allow vegetation to be removed from the nesting islands. A grant of £3,000 was recently made by the Whitehead Monckton Charitable Foundation to assist with the purchase of the boat.
