Community upon Thames is a not-for-profit Social Enterprise committed to serving the people and businesses of Richmond and Kingston upon Thames. Our dynamic website offers the community a wealth of exciting opportunities. Have a look around and check out our 'Secret Newspaper' for alternative local news written by local people, local volunteering opportunities, details of our Job Cafe and our uniq
ue Skill Exchange where local people can advertise skills they can offer and browse skills they are looking for, online. We do a lot of work supporting local businesses. Our shopping hub allows small shops to sell their goods online to a much wider audience and our business membership offers enormous benefits to local businesses. In working with both local people and businesses, we aim to help local people who are unemployed into work, including those who feel excluded through disability or disadvantage. We can connect people and use our contacts and our 'IT training for the workplace' programme and Monday morning Job Cafe are just a couple of practical ways that we work to find people employment. Above all, we want to continue to support our community. If you have any ideas or want to get involved, please get in touch! www.communityuponthames.co.uk
