OneRichmond is a place-based Richmond borough funder focused on tackling social isolation by supporting local charities that address the hidden causes behind it, especially mental health, disability, homelessness, and older people’s isolation. It appears to back community-rooted organisations that can show direct local impact in Richmond upon Thames, often combining grant funding with volunteer, pro bono, or public fundraising support. Its approach is notably community-engaged and event-driven, especially through Dragons’ Den-style pitching rounds that connect charities with local donors and supporters.
Small-to-moderate place-based grants awarded in rounds, often through invite-based or event-based processes rather than open rolling applications; support may also include fundraising exposure, volunteer time, and pro-bono assistance. Recent grant decisions have been tied to specific events, with application windows announced in advance and no unsolicited proposals for the Dragons’ Den round.

Watch for announced application windows and event dates, since some funding rounds are tied to the annual Dragons’ Den-style pitch event and do not accept unsolicited proposals. Strong applications should be hyper-local to Richmond upon Thames, clearly address social isolation or one of its linked needs, and show how funding will produce visible community benefit or leverage volunteers and local support.
