Making a difference locally
Coates and Grute enthusiastically supports the work of The King’s Arms, a local youth charity with a core age group of 11-18 years.
Founded in 2000, The King’s Arms (affectionally known as KA) exists to meet the needs of young people in Petersfield, Alton and the surrounding villages. It helps them to thrive, build resilience and discover their worth.
“We want the young people of our communities to fulfil their potential and know their worth.” Caroline , KA, CEO
