THE HURLINGHAM CLUB FOUNDATION
Creating opportunities and positive change on our doorstep
The Hurlingham Club Foundation is the official charity of The Hurlingham Club, driven by a simple yet powerful mission: to harness the collective strength of the Club to create opportunities and spaces that improve health, wellbeing, and life chances for people in our local borough.
In 2021, the Foundation was set up with support from members, staff and the local community. Every year, we channel resources and financial support into initiatives that make a tangible difference - both within the Club and across the borough. From delivering inclusive activities on-site to supporting community programs, we focus on reaching underserved communities and empowering individuals to thrive.
By working together, we help to transform lives and strengthen the fabric of our community – ensuring that people have access to the opportunities they deserve.
In order to continue this fantastic work, we have established a donation page to allow those who are interested in our work to support the cause. Whether small or large, any donation would be most appreciated.
We welcome support from members in a variety of ways, ranging from volunteering, spreading the word, offering connections and making donations that fuel the programme of work.
To donate, please visit the Foundation's Just Giving page here, or contact the Foundation team via foundation@hurlinghamclub.org.uk.
