Living for today, creating positive memories for tomorrow

19/11/2025

The children at Richard House fill our days with colour, laughter, and imagination ✨

From splashing paint in art sessions to playing music, storytelling, and exploring our sensory spaces, creativity is at the heart of what we do. Every activity offers a moment of freedom, fun, and expression, no matter a child’s ability or needs.

For many of our children, these moments of creativity are more than play, they’re a way to connect, to express themselves, and to experience the world in new and joyful ways!

Each brushstroke, song, and smile reminds us why Richard House exists: to bring light, life, and happiness to every child who walks through our doors 💙

Richard House is more than a hospice; it’s a home filled with warmth, laughter, and love 💙

For families who face the challenges of caring for a child with a life-limiting condition, we provide a safe haven, a space where they can rest, recharge, and make precious memories together.

Whether it’s enjoying family movie nights, celebrating birthdays, or simply sharing a meal, these are moments of connection that matter deeply 🌟

Our team is here every step of the way, supporting parents, siblings, and carers as part of our extended Richard House family. We believe that care goes beyond medical support; it’s about helping families find comfort, hope, and togetherness when they need it most.

Another fantastic Richard House Cup! ⚽🏆

Recently, we hosted our latest tournament at Powerleague Battersea, bringing together six brilliant teams for a day of competition and community spirit.

A huge congratulations to Credit Agricole, who were crowned champions after going head-to-head with teams from TV Edwards Solicitors LLP, Commerzbank, Peel Hunt, and CLS 👏

Every kick, goal, and save made a difference – with all the money raised going towards supporting children with life-limiting conditions and their families in our community 💙

Thank you to everyone who played, cheered, and supported, you’re helping us create moments of joy and care that truly matter.

A Huge Thank You to Our Incredible Supporters! 🏡

We’re so grateful to the amazing team at Alltype Group Ltd, who recently refurbished one of our family flats here at Richard House. They went above and beyond, completing an incredible transformation, providing extra materials, and getting everything done so quickly! 💪

We’d also like to give a special shoutout to everyone who helped make this project possible:

💫 Howdens Dartford – for donating a new microwave and upgrading the kitchen units free of charge.
💫 Ritcher Air Ltd and their supplier Greenmill – for donating an air conditioning system and discounting the rest. (We’d love for you to share this too!)
💫 Steve's Carpets Ltd – for supplying and discounting the bedroom carpet and underlay.

Your kindness and generosity have helped create a warm, comfortable space for families to stay close to their loved ones during difficult times.

Thank you all for helping us make a real difference!
