Community Outreach
Reaching out locally
Jesus loves unconditionally, gives freely, and brings hope, justice and new beginnings. We are called to do the same.
We are passionate about reaching out to the community around us, demonstrating and extending God’s Kingdom, and expressing the love of Father in many ways, both spiritually and practically.

KingsGate Adult and Toddler Group
Sisterhood choir
Choirs are a wonderful way of reaching out to our community, encouraging people from all walks of life and backgrounds to come into a fun and engaging environment where they can establish relationships and build trust. Singing in choirs also has widely recognised positive impacts on both physical and mental health and we have seen the results of this first hand through the choirs we run.
Brite Box Project
Partnering with Voice of Hope, the Brite Box project helps to address the growing issue of food hunger in families. Around 400 families, across four boroughs, receive a a weekly box that has all the ingredients and a printed recipe guide along with photographs to illustrate, step by step, how to cook a healthy dinner meal together as a family. Once a month each family also receives a Baking Brite Box with all the ingredients to bake delicious, home-made family treats.
Active Breathing Course
We are launching a 6 week course that applies breathing and singing techniques to help improve, restore and strengthen lung function of those recovering from Covid. This is being rolled out across Kingston and Richmond in partnership with the Councils, GPs, Social Prescribers and Kingston University.
The Student Pantry
The KingsGate Student Pantry is a not-for-profit social venture partnership between KingsGate Church and Kingston University (Staff & Students). Students pay a small amount each visit (£5), and receive approximately £20-£25 worth of goods, from a range of food (including fresh fruit and vegetables, frozen and chilled food, meat, dairy, vegetarian and vegan products, alongside a supply of tins and packets) and non-food items (such as household and personal hygiene items).
