Kingston Council provides the My Community Life website as a central location for non-profit community groups and organisations to post information about themselves and their events, activities and volunteering opportunities occurring in and around Kingston. Users must register with the site to be able to upload information. Users who are reading the website do not need to be registered.

Any not-for-profit community group, organisation or club can use the site if they:

• Are based in, or are in close proximity to, the City of Kingston municipality
