Supporting elderly and housebound people

 

In the heart of Richmond-upon-Thames

 

Local support for local people

Richmond Good Neighbours is a small registered charity based in Richmond

We have been supporting elderly and housebound people who live in the heart of the borough of Richmond-upon-Thames for over thirty years. Our volunteers carry out over 3500 tasks a year for a client base of around 125 local residents. Essentially we do what a good neighbour does!
