We conducted our 1st pilot in April/May 2025 and the results were very positive.
The Next Steps
EBH became a Community Interest Company (CIC) in September 2025. As a board we feel confident in rolling out our pilot programme to targeted groups in the boroughs of Richmond and Kingston (and neighbouring boroughs).
In order to achieve this, we need to:
1. Look for suitable partners who have similar values to work with us
2. Apply for funding for up to 6 cycles of our 5-week programme over the next 2 years to local and national funds – either on our own or in partnership with another local
organisation
3. Recruit more volunteers who either have specialist skills (e.g. social
media marketing, finance, fundraising and food budgeting) or general
skills (setting up, supporting clients, clearing up) in delivering our
programme. Go to advert
4. Continue to work with local community centres to recruit our message
and programme
