No this is not another football club! How many of you have heard of the Hammersmith United Charity or know of the amazing work that it does? In fact there are two sister charities which have both been operating for 400 years in Hammersmith and Fulham.The one in Fulham is called Dr Edwards and Bishop Kings. To celebrate their success, they want to unite and set up another charity which they will call UNITED. The objects would be ‘to bring people together (young and old, rich and poor, existing residents and newcomers, diverse communities, people with and without disabilities), enhance connections as neighbours and colleagues, and build a sense of belonging, resulting in meaningful and sustainable outcomes’. The initial objective is to raise a £1million fund and a large part of this has been achieved.
The Hammersmith Society (and the Fulham Society) have been invited to be Founder Partners. We have told UNITED that while we are supportive of the principles, we do not have financial resources. Expect to see more details of this and other news of their 400th anniversary celebrations during the year.
