Cantell & Co - Proudly Supports Richmond Good Neighbours

At Cantell & Co, we’re proud to support the community that supports us. Our partnership with Richmond Good Neighbours, a vital local charity making a meaningful and lasting difference, reflects our commitment to giving back and strengthening the area we’re fortunate to be part of.
The ‘kindness economy’ is a value system that underpins everything Cantell & Co do; profit matters, but so does business with a heart and a conscience. 

Together, we can help Richmond Good Neighbours continue their essential work for another 50 years and beyond.

For nearly 50 years, Richmond Good Neighbours (RGN) has been supporting the elderly, disabled, and housebound residents in the TW9 and TW10 postcodes. Their incredible work focuses on preventing isolation and ensuring that those who need a helping hand receive it. RGN volunteers provide essential services such as assistance with shopping, friendly visiting, and crucial transport to medical appointments, truly embodying the spirit of a 'good neighbour'.

We are immensely proud to support RGN in their mission. Cantell & Co has committed to donating 10% of our sales fee to Richmond Good Neighbours whenever a client refers to the charity upon instructing our services. This means that by choosing Cantell & Co, you are directly contributing to the continued success and vital work of RGN within our community.

We are pleased to say you can now help support RGN when you shop at Waitrose Richmond, by choosing them with your end of shop green tokens. A sum of £3000 will be split between the participating causes.

The Alberts Deli, who are hosting a monthly Last Thursday Supper Club from this July are delighted to be supporting Richmond Good Neighbours. Mark has owned the Alberts Deli for just over a year and is firmly part of the local community. They will have a Richmond Good Neighbours donation box available for the month of August. Pop in for breakfast, a lunch sandwich, dinner to go or the Friday Fizz nights. The Alberts Deli


How Your Support Makes a Difference

Keep an eye out for RGN at local events, such as the beloved Richmond May Fair, where they often have a presence.

Become a Richmond Good Neighbour Volunteer
The heart of RGN's success lies with its dedicated volunteers. If you are a local resident looking for a rewarding way to give back, we strongly encourage you to consider volunteering. The beauty of volunteering with RGN is its flexibility; there is no regular commitment required. You can offer your time when it suits you, whether it is helping with a shopping trip, sharing a cup of tea with a housebound resident, or providing transport to an appointment. It is a truly fulfilling experience that directly impacts the well-being of your neighbours.

The benefits of volunteering extend beyond those receiving help; volunteers often find it incredibly rewarding, fostering a stronger sense of community and connection. Imagine the difference you could make to someone's day with just a little of your time.
