Community
Community is our third core value and someting that has always been an intrinsic part of life at Kames. As part of our FUTURE50 iniative in 2022 to celebrate the next 50 years of Kames, we established a formalised Community Fund. We’ve always supported local ventures but we want to make it easier to apply for Kames funding and to establish our own fundraising activities that can go towards this fund.
