Welcome to Richmond Good Neighbours
Richmond Good Neighbours has been providing support to residents of Richmond for over thirty years. Richmond Good Neighbours is a registered charity which was established to "provide services to the elderly, the disabled, the housebound and others living in the heart of Richmond".
Please check the map of the Area Served to see whether you are in our catchment area.
We carry out over 3500 tasks a year for our clients. We are very grateful for financial support from Richmond Parish Lands Charity and and we raise additional funds at various events throughout the year such as the Richmond May Fair. Donations are always a very welcome source of income, please look at our Fundraising page for more details of how you can support us.
Our help may be needed when statutory services, friends or family are unable to offer assistance and includes but is not limited to:
- Transport
- Shopping
- Visiting
We have a committee of trustees and a part time Organiser, Anne Speak.
Richmond Good Neighbours & Covid-19 November 2020
During the Covid-19 crisis we welcomed over 35 new volunteers who helped to support our clients with shopping, collecting prescriptions and weekly telephone befriending. Many have now returned to work and we would like to thank them for all their help over the last six months.
We are still supporting many clients who are shielding and therefore still need our help, so do please contact us if you can volunteer some time. Current Covid 19 guidelines, Richmond is in Tier 2, limit the social events and activities we can organise for our clients, so now more than ever, telephone befriending is an important way of keeping in contact with our more isolated, housebound clients.
Richmond Good Neighbours supports those who live around Richmond town, and we are one of eight care groups in LBRUT with clearly defined areas where we operate.
On this side of the river:

All four Neighbourhood Care Groups have websites with contact pages so it will much easier for us to collate your offers of help via this route.
