Reading FC Royal Families
Kyocera Mita (UK) Ltd is proud to be a founder sponsor of the Reading FC Royal Families Charity. The charity, which is headed up by the wives and girlfriends of Reading FC players, carries out fundraising activities throughout the year to support local charities. The Royal Families have raised £80,000 so far in the 2007-2008 season.

The Meningitis Trust
Every year Kyocera Mita (UK) organises a toddle waddle in support of the Meningitis Trust, a charity that was founded in 1985 after a severe outbreak of the disease in 1985 in the Stroud and Stonehouse area of the UK. We invite local toddlers to get sponsored to "waddle" a lap of the Madejski Stadium pitch. This year the children raised in excess of £3000 at the Kyocera Toddle Waddle.
