Fundraising events
The Rugby Portobello Trust is more than 80% donor-funded through our events and our generous local supporter base. We host various events throughout the year, welcoming over 1,000 supporters.
Our fundraising events are supported by 45 volunteer committee members and more than 50 event-day volunteers. In 2023 our events raised £560,000 (gross), giving us essential unrestricted income to run our North Kensington programmes.
We would like to thank our 2023 Corporate Sponsors, Strutt & Parker, for their sponsorship of our events.
