Help us protect, restore and repurpose Britain’s telephone boxes for future generations.

The UK Foundation is working to save telephone boxes from being removed, neglected or lost. We are currently adopting and reviewing a number of kiosks across the UK and seeking funding to restore them for community use.

Your donation will help us secure these much-loved structures, carry out essential repairs, and give them a renewed purpose within the communities they serve.

The UK Foundation

Many telephone boxes are nolonger used for their original purpose and are at risk of removal. Once lost, they are unlikely to return.

By donating, you can help us act early, protect these kiosks, and bring them back into meaningful community use.

A restored telephone box could become a public access defibrillator point, first aid hub, community book exchange, local information point, heritage display or another use that benefits the local area.

What Your Donation Could Help Fund

Your support may contribute towards:

  • Adoption and administration costs
  • Cleaning and restoration works
  • Replacement glazing, doors, panels and fittings
  • Repainting and heritage-sensitive repairs
  • Electrical works where power is required
  • Defibrillator cabinets and first aid equipment
  • Insurance and ongoing maintenance
  • Community signage and local information displays

Every donation helps us move one step closer to saving and restoring more telephone boxes. Suggested Donation Amounts
