D'Key Civic is a grassroots outreach project supporting families, elders and young people through meals, warm spaces, practical help and genuine care. This is where the vision of the Republic of D'Key becomes everyday, local love-in-action.
No forms to impress. No performance required. Just neighbours, food, dignity and a growing circle of care.
A small, family-rooted project with a big heart – piloting meals, youth activities, warm spaces, and international outreach, one month at a time.
D'Key Civic is rooted in family, lived experience and a shared desire to serve. This is the first circle – the House McLawrence Civic team.
Carlton carries the founding vision of the Republic of D'Key and D'Key Civic – blending sovereignty, compassion and practical community action into one living project.
With a background in education and a natural gift for working with children, Maria helps shape gentle, creative and confidence-building spaces for young people.
Trudy brings warmth, wisdom and decades of community experience, helping to make sure elders and vulnerable neighbours are seen, remembered and supported.
KK is the planning and decor queen – turning ideas into real gatherings, workshops and events that feel welcoming, beautiful and carefully thought through.
A glimpse of some of the small but meaningful things already happening – from allotments and sunflowers to crafts, coding, games and giving.
Whether you’re needing support, looking to volunteer, or curious about partnership, there’s a simple way to start.
If you’re facing a tight month, feeling overwhelmed, or worried about someone you care about, you can quietly reach out through our support page.
From washing up and lifting chairs to mentoring, cooking or creative workshops – there’s room for different gifts and different levels of availability.
D'Key Civic is open to gentle, practical partnerships with schools, councils, charities and local businesses who care about real community wellbeing.
