Story
At OneRichmond's Pitching Event for Charities, Inspired by Dragons' Den, join in with the "Dragons" in giving back to the six selected charities and their vital work to support people in need in our borough. Your donations will be a huge part of the night and will make the impact that much greater.
On 9th June, members of the Richmond borough community will be able to hear from, engage with, and support local grassroots charities at OneRichmond’s exciting new Dragons’ Den-style event. The charities pitching are: The Mulberry Centre; Brighter Together; Richmond Borough Mind; MTV Youth Hampton; Otakar Kraus Music Trust; and Richmond Mencap, each doing vital work to support people in need in our borough.
The charities will pitch in front of four Dragons – local business leaders, philanthropists, and members of the community – who will then decide to what cause their money will go to. The audience will also have the opportunity to pledge their time as volunteers, pro bono work, or donations. Your donations will be a huge part of the night and will make the impact that much greater. Connected to this campaign is a fundraising page for each charity. Donate directly to the charities that you want to support through their individual pages.
