Kew Society

The Kew Society, which is more than 100 years old, is an influential organisation dedicated to enhancing the beauty and character of Kew with its historic legacy of buildings and green spaces.

We improve and maintain Kew’s smaller green spaces and flower beds for everyone to enjoy

Our gardening team are all local volunteers who enjoy fresh air, interacting with the natural environment, using or learning gardening skills and mixing with like-minded people. We’re always on the lookout for new members to lend a hand and welcome all volunteers.

Our goal is to help Kew become a more sustainable, inclusive and accessible place to live

We aim to facilitate dialogue, debate and action on a number of environmental issues that impact Kew, through collaboration with local Non-Governmental Organisations, charities, interest groups and governmental bodies.

We monitor and respond to planning applications that impact the lives of those within Kew

Kew Society has gained a respected relationship with Richmond Council’s planning department and  our views are welcomed and frequently acted upon.

We bring people together through social events and by campaigning for improved accessibility

We organise a wide range of events and activities to connect like-minded people in Kew together, from interesting talks to informative walks as well as networking and socialising.

In 1987 the Kew Society became a registered charity.
