With half-term about to commence, Achieving for Children will run a food voucher scheme to address the pressing issue of local hard-pressed and vulnerable families in the borough not being able to cover the cost of meals during the school holiday. Guidance will be launched early next week to let eligible families know how they can collect their voucher. Fourteen school streets now live in Richmond Earlier this year, Richmond Council used emergency powers to ensure that three local primary schools were the first in the borough to receive ‘School Street’ status prior to the summer holidays.

  • LOST HOSPITALS of LONDON (Adapted from )
    LOST HOSPITALS OF LONDON (adapted from http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/ ) Teddington Memorial Hospital Hampton Road, Teddington, Middlesex, TW11 OJL Medical Dates: 1875 – current Medical character: Acute. Later, community The Teddington and Hampton Wick Cottage Hospital opened in 1875 in a house – Elfin Grove Villas – which had been donated for the purpose by Thomas Chappell, of the music publishing and piano manufacturing firm. The Hospital had four beds. Its income, apart from subscriptions and donations, was raised by various activities, such as fetes, bazaars, concerts and plays. In-patients were charged one shilling (5p) a day towards their keep. By 1914, although the number of beds had increased to 24, the population of the area had grown and this bed accommodation had again become inadequate. With no further possibility of expansion on the site, a fund-raising campaign began to raise money for a new hospital on a new location. However, the outbreak of WW1 caused the plans to be postponed. After the war the Hospital Committee began to explore potential sites in 1919; it was intended that the new hospital would also serve as a War Memorial. Fund-raising began in earnest and a piece of land was acquired in Hampton Road for £2,000. The vendors also donated £1,000 towards the building fund. A magazine called Our Town was published in 1924 to raise money for the fund; this was renamed Swan and Stag in 1925 and was published annually until 1934 (the magazines are apparently available in the Twickenham Library, while the swan and the stag became the emblem of the Hospital).

  • Richmond's Hidden Gems
    Richmond’s Hidden Gems Richmond is rich in world renowned gems. You can discover royal history at Hampton Court Palace, traverse the stunning diversity of Kew Gardens and get up close and personal with wild deer in Richmond Park; and yet Richmond has many hidden gems just waiting to be discovered around the next corner. The following itinerary is perfect if you want to get away from established tourist attractions and explore some of Richmond’s best kept secrets. A morning stroll in Crane Park Crane Park follows the path of the River Crane between Twickenham and Whitton as far as Hounslow Heath. Often overshadowed by the Royal Parks in the borough, Crane Park possesses a fascinating nature reserve set against the backdrop of an old Shot Tower and pleasant riverside walks. Crane Park Island, the nature reserve is a mixture of interesting woodland, reedbeds and scrub habitats that are home to a number of different types of wildlife including the endangered water vole and from time to time the majestic kingfisher. A path intersperses these interesting habitats allowing you to get close enough to have a chance of seeing the wildlife but not so close as to be intrusive. After visiting the nature reserve and inspecting the Shot Tower, you can follow the river path towards Twickenham eventually emerging in the area close to the Harlequins Rugby Stadium, from here it is a moderate walk into Twickenham for lunch. Further information about the park is available here Lunch in Twickenham and exploring York House Gardens Rest your weary legs with lunch in Twickenham which has a wide variety of pubs, cafes and restaurants to relax and recuperate in.
