The Richmond upon Thames Voluntary Fund is aiming to raise a mammoth £100,000 for children’s mental health charities this year

The trust was launched in 2020 by Richmond Council to collect donations from residents for specific vulnerable groups.

The 2022 beneficiaries are Richmond Carers Centre, Off The Record, ADHD Embrace and the Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation.

There is also wider support planned for parents and carers dealing with a child or young person struggling with their mental health.
