Summer Tea at ETNA
- Details
Due to building works at The Cambrian Centre whilst a new kitchen is installed, we switched our monthly tea this month to the East Twickenham Neighbourhood Centre, rented a minibus to help with lifts and as always had a couple of volunteer drivers to bring our more fragile clients.
It was a lovely afternoon full of conversations in English, French and Spanish, we also had volunteers’ children with us and the wonderful ETNA staff to make everyone feel so welcome.
Thank you to everyone who helps to facilitate these monthly teas which bring isolated people together if only for an hour.
A special thank you to our funders who make it possible to rent a minibus and the venue.

Richmond May Fair
- Details
Saturday 11th May 2024
The Richmond May Fair was back, bigger and better than ever and as Richmond Good Neighbours is very much part of the local community we were delighted to have a stall on Richmond Green.
It was time for a change from the successful “Gin”tastic stall, so this year we came up with a new theme of “Bubble and Truffles”. Our clients, volunteers and supporters in the local community embraced the theme with generous donations of chocolate truffles, Prosecco and Champagne, bubble bath, shampoos and even a couple of bottles of Fairy Liquid!
Art Workshop at Holly Lodge
- Details
On Friday 8th March we took a group of 10 clients to Holly Lodge last Friday to take part in an Art Workshop. The trip was a huge success and despite some trepidation from our clients about the art and what it might entail, much fun was had by all! The weather was beautiful and so was the artwork.
Kew Gardens
- Details
Thanks to generous funding from the National Lottery Community Funding we booked a mini bus and took some clients to Kew Gardens on Friday 9th June. The Explorer Train was a huge success enabling visitors to get to parts of the gardens they might have missed otherwise. Shade provided by the trees gave welcome respite from the heat. Thank you to Penny, Ines and Alison who accompanied the outing and to David from FiSH who took great care of the passengers getting on and off the minibus.
