Cadogan Annual Report 2019
Stewardship
Stewardship and community are integral to Cadogan. Our long-term commitment comes with responsibility to ensure that we are making a positive contribution towards a sustainable environment, protecting the area’s unique heritage and supporting a thriving community – continually evolving to ensure it remains vibrant for future generations. Stewardship in the Community Chelsea is vibrant and full of character. We actively seek ways to contribute to thriving local communities including working closely with local groups, charities, educational and religious bodies as well as supporting local cultural attractions: — The Cadogan family charitable foundation has donated more than £12million over the last 5 years, to local and national charitable causes — Cadogan owns and operates Cadogan Hall, a 900 seat concert hall. This is a philanthropic enterprise aimed at contributing to the broad and varied cultural offer of Chelsea
— Kensington and Chelsea is known as a wealthy borough but how challenging life is for very many people here can be overlooked. As a result, we have identified the Kensington & Chelsea Foundation as our key charity partner. Cadogan is their Principal Funder. The Foundation is able to understand local needs and identify local grassroots charities that are well placed to improve peoples’ lives. As well as meeting the lion’s share of the Foundation’s operational costs we have supported particular programmes in 2019 and our support has contributed towards delivering 32 projects to 21 organisations and reaching 2,400 people
