How you can help
Our Giving Network: Join Us
We are launching a local funding network, inspired by models like The Funding Network, to bring together Richmond donors and local organisations through live, engaging giving events. These events will spotlight urgent local needs—particularly around social isolation—and give you the opportunity to support credible, vetted charities directly.
Be part of building a stronger, more connected Richmond. By joining the OneRichmond Giving Network, you’ll help fund vital local organisations tackling isolation, mental health challenges, youth vulnerability, housing insecurity, and more. Together, we can unlock the generosity of our borough and ensure that everyone in Richmond has the opportunity to thrive.
Tackling the causes of social isolation
Social isolation is more than just loneliness – it’s a lack of social connection, community, and support when it is most needed.
All of us rely on community networks in our lives – whether family, friends, local groups. When these networks break down or are inaccessible, individuals are left rudderless. Tackling social isolation builds a stronger, more vibrant Richmond community, where all people are able to thrive.
Combating social isolation means a stronger, more resilient Richmond for everyone.
- 17% of households in Richmond are single-person, putting many, especially older people, at risk of social isolation.
- Levels of food insecurity, homelessness, and poverty are all increasing within the borough year on year.
- Mental health conditions, grief, illness, disability, and poverty are all risk factors leading to social isolation.
Help us build a community that supports those who need it most.
How you can help
Your support can help local organisations provide:
- Services that combat hidden poverty and isolation
- Practical support and advice for adults and families living with disabilities
- Mental health and wellbeing services
- Programmes for residents at risk of isolation, from the youth to the elderly
