building a happier community by reducing social isolation and loneliness
The Kings Award for Voluntary Service
We are absolutely delighted to share some very special news…
Compassionate Kenilworth has been honoured with The King’s Award for Voluntary Service — the highest recognition a local voluntary group can receive in the UK. This award celebrates the outstanding work carried out by volunteers and is the equivalent of an MBE for charities and community groups.
Our Aim
At Compassionate Kenilworth, we strive to reduce social isolation and loneliness, creating a stronger, healthier, and more connected community. By offering free-to-access opportunities for social engagement, creativity, learning and support, we help improve overall well-being and bring people together.
Who are we?
We are a dedicated group of local volunteers who initially came together during the pandemic to support those in need. Today, with the help of a small staff team, our focus is on tackling the social isolation and loneliness we witnessed, improving health outcomes, and making Kenilworth a happier place to live.
Working alongside local services, we identify gaps in support and mobilise charities, volunteers, and funders to create meaningful projects. We collaborate with GP surgeries, the local authorities, and community groups to ensure we meet real needs effectively.
​
We also run a community forum, bringing together local organisations such as Kenilworth Lions, Kenilworth Rotarians, Round Table, and Soroptimists. This forum helps us share ideas, explore funding opportunities, and coordinate volunteer efforts to make a bigger impact.
