In collaboration with The Hill Group, Richmond Housing Partnership (RHP) created a community grant fund in Autumn 2024, worth £250,000 annually to invest in the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of the community.
RHP Group is working in collaboration with The Hill Group on the regeneration of Ham Close, providing 452 new affordable and private sale homes and two new community facilities. These will replace the existing 192 homes.
As part of the procurement process, The Hill Group committed an additional £250,000 a year for a period of eight years to invest in social value and sustainability to support and build stronger communities in all areas that RHP operate. The investment will contribute towards the improvement of the economic, social, and environmental wellbeing of RHP customers and the communities they live in.
Grant applications are welcomed from RHP customers, community groups, registered charities, and not-for-profit groups or social enterprises.
Applications should demonstrate a clear benefit for RHP customers and the wider community, along with the expected outcomes.
They should focus on one or more of the priority areas of health and wellbeing, learning and development, financial security and support, or safety and control.
