Richmond accelerates climate action through new community initiatives
We're working with residents, community groups, and businesses to cut carbon emissions, protect nature and increase our resilience to a changing climate through a host of new community initiatives. From repair cafés and upcycling schemes to grassroots projects creating greener neighbourhood spaces, residents are playing a vital role, with community action central to the progress of our climate goals.
Helping residents rebuild their lives at newly opened Homelessness Hub
We're expanding support for people seeking help with housing by opening up a new Homelessness Assessment Hub. The new 11-bedded hub offers dedicated short-term support with stays of up to 28 days - giving people a safe, stable environment to access wrap-around services tailored to their individual needs. Councillor Chris Varley, Lead Member for Housing said: “This hub is a vital addition to the work our teams do to prevent homelessness and support our most vulnerable residents."
