Thank you to all who took part in the
RPLC's 'Family Breakdown' Conference on
25th March 2009. People in Richmond are
fortunate to have so many people working
in support of families. Over forty
different organisations were represented
at the conference which was opened by
Baroness Tonge and had Nick Tarsh from
National Relate as the closing
speaker. A report can be found by

Richmond
Parish Lands Charity (RPLC) was endowed
by a gift of land from King George III
and Queen Charlotte in 1786 and
reconstituted in its present form in
1968. Its principal objectives are the
making of grants for charitable purposes
to voluntary organisations in Richmond,
Surrey and a social housing operation
comprising nearly 100 dwellings.
The value of the assets owned by the Charity is over £50 million of which more than a third is invested in the Stock Market providing an annual income of over £950,000, most of which is given in grants. The contribution of the charity to Richmond, both in grant making and in the housing field is substantial. The organisation is well established and highly regarded for its support of the local voluntary sector.
