What we do Last year we supported 250 families with over 500 children in the borough of Richmond upon Thames. We have about 100 home-visiting volunteers who are trained to support families (with at least one child under 5) who are experiencing difficulties such as post-natal depression, isolation, disability of parent or child, bereavement or a combination of factors that impact on their children’s development.

(UK, 10448369) Browse events
YTD Raised: £237.00DRUM is a small registered charity and user led service based in Watford. We provide day services to adults with physical and/or sensory disabilities. DRUM was first formed in October 1994 by a small group of disabled volunteers who wanted to meet up with like-minded people and pursue art activities within the local community. Nearly 20 years on and DRUM now supports over 60 disabled members and 100+ carers. Most of our members were not born with a disability and most had led busy lives, working hard and bringing up their families, when their lives were suddenly turned upside down by illness. Many first come to DRUM with feelings of depression and isolation. Many rely on care and support from a relative or friend. Some carers just need a couple of hours in order to do some shopping, meet friends or get some sleep but others may be juggling paid work with their unpaid caring responsibilities at home.
