The KM Foundation Charity Dinner
Following the success of our inaugural event last year, The KM Foundation returns to The Landmark London for a Charity Dinner on Saturday 28 November 2026.
The Grand Ballroom awaits for an evening of dinner, live music and good company, celebrating the work of our charity partners and the opportunities we can help create together.
Saturday 28 November 2026
7pm to midnight
The Grand Ballroom at The Landmark London
Dress code: Smart Cocktail
Attendance is by invitation only. To confirm your attendance or make an enquiry, please email nick@thekmfoundation.org.
Enjoy the evening
Alongside dinner and live performances, there will be opportunities to meet our charity partners, discover something special and support their work.
Our charity partners
Our charity partners will be joining us to share the work your support makes possible. Meet representatives from the four partnerships supported by The KM Foundation:
Each partner will have a dedicated table and display space during the evening, alongside presentations bringing their work to life. Please take the opportunity to stop by, ask questions, and hear their stories.
Live music
From relaxed sounds over drinks and dinner to a livelier set later in the evening, the quartet will provide the soundtrack to our celebration, bringing together vocals, piano, electric violin and electric cello.
Young talent
We look forward to performances by London Music Fund scholarship recipients: an opportunity to enjoy their talent and celebrate the role that musical education and encouragement can play in a young person’s life.
Tom Davies Eyewear
From his Sloane Square boutique to the Hollywood screen, bespoke eyewear designer Tom Davies creates frames with distinction, character, and a little luxury. His designs are most notable in the iconic Matrix Resurrections and the fashion extravaganza Cruella, where Tom supplied every frame worn in both films.
Tom and his team will be on hand to personally style you on the night, helping you find frames that suit your features and express your individuality.
A generous supporter of The KM Foundation, Tom will kindly donate all profits from eyewear purchased on the evening to the Foundation. Any prescriptions can be glazed at his Sloane Square store. Find your next signature pair while making a difference.
Jeffery-West Footwear

Support our work
An opportunity to learn. The chance to regain independence. Access to specialist care closer to home.
The KM Foundation supports projects that make a meaningful difference to people’s lives, while building knowledge, skills, and services that will benefit others for years to come.
If you would like to support the Foundation, the evening offers an opportunity to make a pledge towards this work. Whether you are joining us in person or supporting from afar, every contribution is welcome.
A pledge of £200 could contribute towards:
Eye care
Supporting cataract screening, surgery and follow-up care through Orbis and Aravind Eye Hospital in underserved districts of Tamil Nadu, helping people regain independence and return to everyday life.
Music scholarships
Helping talented young musicians in London and Birmingham access tuition, instruments, specialist equipment and travel through the London Music Fund’s scholarship programme.
History education
Supporting the Chalke Schools History Hub’s free films, talks and teaching resources, making inspiring history education accessible to schools regardless of their budgets.
Laryngology project
Supporting specialist airway care in Amritsar and training local clinical teams, helping develop a service with the skills to care for patients and train others for years to come.
These are examples of the work your gift could support, rather than fixed costs for an individual treatment or service. Contributions come together to help each project achieve lasting results.

You can support a particular project or allow the Foundation to direct your gift where the need is greatest. If you would prefer to give regularly, a monthly donation helps us plan ahead and sustain our partnerships.

To make a pledge, email donations@thekmfoundation.org with your chosen amount and project, or let us know that you would like to support the Foundation’s work generally. We will send you payment details and information about Gift Aid.
All pledges made before or during the event will be announced and acknowledged on the night, with our heartfelt thanks. If you would prefer your support to remain anonymous, please let us know when making your pledge.
An email pledge records your intention to give; no payment is taken when you email us.
With Gift Aid, an eligible £200 donation becomes £250 for the Foundation, at no extra cost to you. Simply complete a Gift Aid declaration alongside your donation.
As a UK taxpayer paying Income Tax at the higher or additional rate, you will also be able to claim personal tax relief on qualifying Gift Aid donations. Here is how a £200 donation could work:
You donate £200
£250Received by the Foundation with Gift Aid, before Kumar’s matching contribution.
If you qualify for 40% relief
£150Your net cost after claiming £50 in personal tax relief.
If you qualify for 45% relief
£137.50Your net cost after claiming £62.50 in personal tax relief.
These examples assume the full donation qualifies for relief at the stated rate. Your circumstances may affect the relief available, and Scottish Income Tax rates differ. You can claim through Self Assessment or by contacting HMRC. The Foundation claims Gift Aid separately.
Kumar’s matching contribution is additional to your donation and does not increase your personal tax relief. These examples apply to qualifying donations, rather than purchases or auction bids.
The after-dinner auction
A pink bubblegum bubble, a swirl of ruby glass, a pair of shoes with a little attitude. Here’s a first look at the lots up for bidding after dinner in support of The KM Foundation.
Maddox Gallery · Two separate lots
Michael Moebius gives familiar faces an unexpected accessory: a bubble caught just before it bursts. Kindly donated by the Maddox Gallery, presenting two of his limited-edition giclée prints on canvas, each offered as a separate lot.
A cowboy fixes us with a steady gaze from beneath the brim of his hat. The pink bubble gives the Western portrait its wit.
2017 · Edition 46 of 250 · 76 × 114 cm
David Bowie looks straight at the viewer over a silver bubble. Against the muted portrait, the blue of one eye stands out.
2017 · Edition 179 of 250 · 102 × 76 cm
London Glassblowing
For this piece, Peter Layton revisited his Ruby Spirale series from the 1990s. Seen from different angles, its overlapping bands of colour reveal new depths within the glass.
Ruby red sweeps through amber and pink in this freeblown glass sculpture. The lot includes a copy of Peter Layton: A Celebration of Colour.
21.5 cm high × 29 cm wide × 10 cm deep
Jeffery~West · One lot
The winning bidder will choose one pair of Jeffery~West shoes from the selection pictured below. Select a photograph to take a closer look.
Still to come
We’ll share more as details are confirmed, including a painting by Graceland, a Cotswolds weekend stay with a gourmet dinner at the Nannestad's Elstree Vineyard, a watch from Romano at Superlative Time, jewellery from Piccadilly Vaults, a Dolce & Gabbana experience, and a Gucci experience.
You can still register your interest in bidding ahead of the event. Email nick@thekmfoundation.org, and we’ll share the confirmed lots and advance bidding arrangements when they’re ready.
Education · Healthcare · Communities
Thank you for helping us create opportunities that extend far beyond the evening itself.
