We are very fortunate that local resident, Kristan Alliston has agreed to dust off his running shoes and to run the Virgin London Marathon on 3rd October, raising money for Richmond Good Neighbours. Some of you might recall meeting him at the Volunteer's Party last year when we were excited about his preparations to run on 26th April 2020!

We are optimistic that he will run in October 2021 and have set up a new fundraising page with an ambitious target of £2500. https://localgiving.org/appeal/RGNLondonMarathon2021/

With your help we should hit this target!

We are delighted that RGN, along with the other Neighbourhood Care groups in the Borough, have been awarded Community Group of The Year in the LBRUT  Community Heroes Award  (CLICK HERE for full details). This could only have been achieved thanks to the amazing effort of all our volunteers during the pandemic. They are all heroes.

The eight groups are: FiSH Neighbourhood Care; Ham & Petersham SOS; Richmond Good Neighbours; Whitton Network; Hampton & Hampton Hill Voluntary Care; HANDS; Teddington & Hampton Wick Voluntary Care and Kew Neighbourhood Association. These groups saw significant increases in demand from older people shielding at home during the pandemic and all stepped up and delivered in response to the high demand. Their work has been a big part of the ongoing voluntary sector response to COVID-19 in the borough.
