Partner Organisations
We are looking for partner organisations and volunteers to help us run informal coffee mornings at our Parkshot site where we can put Ukrainians in touch with local services and support and introduce them to life in Richmond. If your organisation is interested in getting involved, please contact Gaynor Bray, gaynor.bray@rhacc.ac.uk.
If your organisation would like to use our Parkshot site to host your own event over the summer, please get in touch. We are happy to provide facilities free of charge for organisations giving support for new Ukrainian residents.
