We have been supporting elderly and housebound people who live in the heart of the borough of Richmond-upon-Thames for over fifty 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!
Can we help you with your shopping, getting to the hospital, doctor or a social event? Would you enjoy someone telephoning or popping in for a chat?
Do you have some spare time to provide transport or to befriend a neighbour?
Would you like to support us in other ways? You could help us fundraise by running a marathon, hosting a quiz night or donating while you are shopping online.
Join us for the “Spot the difference”, a walk though time with an outdoor photo exhibition. 100 years of Gunnersbury Park exhibitions are also running at this time. £5.00 suggested contribution. Bus pick ups start from 10am. Contact the office to book your spot.
