Thanks to National Lottery players, The National Lottery Community Fund has awarded £100,000 to oneRichmond, established by Hampton Fund and RPLC.

The funding will be used to support their local charities and community groups who are best placed to deliver activities and services for vulnerable young people who

have been affected by the Covid-19 crisis.

Chair of OneRichmond Martin Seymour said: "We are delighted that the National Lottery Community Fund has enabled us to provide vital support to our most vulnerable young people.

"We will ensure that funds are distributed where most needed, working in partnership with our grassroots

community organisations."

OneRichmond was established to deal with the high level of need in the borough - despite the perception of the borough as wealthy.
