Save the World Club (SWC) is an environmental creative arts, education and entertainment charity. At SWC’s heart is a commitment to improving the well-being of individuals and communities and protecting the environment demonstrating imaginative skills and solutions and having fun, so we can all live in healthier and more sustainable ways. SWC was set up 30 years ago by Des Kay. The organisation was primarily concerned with Des using recycled materials to create unique kinetic and mechanical structures which told children and family audiences stories of waste and gave other important environmental messages. After many successful years, Professor Kayoss is a legend and SWC has grown to an organisation with thousands of committed supporters. Over the years, we have created Award-winning large community mosaic artworks with thousands involved throughout the process of creation. Using waste materials, many are on display around Kingston Town and the Borough. Our remit for cutting waste extends to monitoring what gets thrown away, and rescuing items able to be recirculated, either as themselves, or through upcycling to something else. We are also key collectors of surplus food that we distribute daily, to local charities, institutions and others in need.

We are a Not For Profit, Community Interest Company based in Hersham Surrey, aiming to encourage the whole community to embrace plastic reduction, reusing, reducing, recycling and up cycling while learning new skills, sharing experiences, saving people money and improving physical and mental well-being. The Elmbridge Community Eco Hub is a secure and safe place for all people. The Hub aims to run initiatives such as a Community Garden, Community Fridge, Library of Things, Skill Share, Small item Recycling, Hygiene bank, Book Boardgame and jigsaw swap, and venue hire opportunities. All of the above initiatives help to make our community stronger, help our environment, provide opportunities to learn, make, take, give, share and care. In September 2025 we moved to our new permanent home in Hersham (Herbert Crook Pavilion) from Walton on Thames. This new building gives us much more scope to support local residents and help the environment.
