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".
We carry out over 3500 tasks a year for a client base of around 140 local residents. 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.
