Charitable Causes

Funds raised by The Richmond River Run will be used by Kew Charity events to support the following charitable causes.

Bliss is the UK charity that cares for premature and sick babies. We are dedicated to ensuring that babies survive and go on to have the best possible quality of life. We provide practical and emotional support to families during an extremely difficult time, so they can give the best care to their babies. Our specialist study days and training supports doctors and nurses to develop their skills and we fund research to improve the care of all sick and premature babies. We also raise awareness of the issues affecting special care babies and fight for essential change within government and the NHS.

Help For Heroes called for the people of Great Britain to help us raise money for wounded soldiers and boy, have you stepped up to the challenge!!!

All over the country, people are baking cakes, shaving heads, parachuting, walking, hiking, cycling and much much more to raise money for our wounded boys and girls. Don’t feel you have to lay on a massive event, every event is special to us and each and every contribution is valued the same way. Visit www.helpforheroes.org.uk

Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading charity dedicated to cancer research. We carry out scientific research to help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, and we ensure that our findings are used to improve the lives of all cancer patients.

We have discovered new ways of treating cancer that together have saved hundreds of thousands of lives across the world and we work in partnership with others to achieve the greatest impact in the global fight against cancer.

We help people to understand cancer by providing life-changing information to patients, their families and friends. We run cancer awareness campaigns to help people reduce their risk of the disease. And our campaigning and lobbying helps keep cancer at the top of the political agenda.

One in three of us will get cancer at some point in our lives. Our groundbreaking work, funded almost entirely by the general public, will ensure that millions more people survive.
