This June, members of the Richmond borough community will be able to hear from and engage with local grassroots charities at OneRichmond's new Dragons' Den-style event.

Hosting the evening will be Jim Rosenthal, acclaimed sports broadcaster, TV presenter, and "proud member of the Richmond community".

He will be using his vast presenting experience to celebrate and showcase the work of six grassroots charities doing vital work to support people in need in our borough.

Charities will pitch in front of four Dragons – local business leaders, philanthropists, and members of the community.

The audience will also have the opportunity to pledge their time as volunteers, pro bono work, or donations. The charities pitching are The Mulberry Centre, Brighter Together, Richmond Borough Mind, MTV Youth Hampton, Otakar Kraus Music Trust, and Richmond Mencap.

The event will be taking place at The Exchange in Twickenham on 9 June, and is open to the public, with tickets priced at £5 per person.

OneRichmond said: "It promises to be a night of entertainment and celebration of the great work that smaller charities in Richmond are doing."
