THE HURLINGHAM CLUB FOUNDATION
In 2021, The Hurlingham Club Foundation was established with support from staff, members and the local community. We have already set up meaningful partnerships with local schools and charities in order to bring about positive change and help many families, children and elderly neighbours to thrive.
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.
