“Our role as a grant maker is to enable, be agile and responsive to our funded partners. Charities continue to face financial pressures, stretched services and rising needs. We recognise the critical role they play in our community, navigating through this period of uncertainty with resilience and adaptability.”

“Richmond Foundation are a thoughtful and collaborative funder, and it is great working with them to support a strong voluntary sector in Richmond upon Thames. Their Future Leaders programme is an exciting initiative to support, develop and encourage potential within the local voluntary sector enabling many key voluntary sector organisations to have a stronger succession plan.”

“Our Core grant has enabled us to have more strategic oversight as it provides stability for us, which creates space for us to look at gaps in provision, particularly around vulnerable and isolated residents. The grant also helps us to attract other sources of funding as we can demonstrate that we have some diversity in our funding base.”
