For residents

Community participation is at the heart of local giving! 

Greenwich Giving relies on the knowledge, support and advice of those who live here. We're always open to new ideas, suggestions and introductions. 

Here are just some of ways in which you could get involved: 

Give to our winter campaign

We are raising money to bring connection, joy and community to some of the Greenwich residents who need it the most. If you would like to support our campaign, 100% of your donation will go to local charities and community groups who are working on this issue.

It does not have to be money — any kind of gift is welcome! You might have toys, books, furniture or food that you want to give to a local charity. Contact Anna at anna.ritchie@metrocharity.org.uk, and she can help you to arrange this.

Help shape Greenwich Giving

In 2025, we'll be looking for residents who are interested in bringing their lived experience and insights to help shape our strategy and direction. In return, we will offer training, new connections, and payment for your time. 

We will be recruiting new members for our steering group, who provide higher-level advice and support. We will also be recruiting Greenwich residents onto our first grants panel to help us make funding decisions. These opportunities will be announced on our mailing list and social media. We are always happy to chat with anyone who might be interested.

Volunteer your time

Volunteering can be a fantastic opportunity to connect with your local community, learn new skills and make a huge difference. 

Greenwich Giving is partnered with Volunteer Centre Greenwich — the leading service in the borough for the promotion of volunteering. If you are a Greenwich resident interested in volunteering, we encourage you to visit their website and use their support to be connected to the perfect role. 

If you are part of a business that is interested in volunteering as a team, or in offering pro-bono support, please see our business page for further details. 

Fundraise for Greenwich charities

Maybe you want to take on a fundraising challenge of your own! You can raise money and be sure that every penny goes to those who need it most in Greenwich. There are so many different fundraising activities which you could do — from organising a bake sale, to running a marathon, to hosting a pub quiz.
