Community

Richmond Club is well known for the support given to the local Hawkesbury community, with over 80% of junior sport in the district sponsored by Richmond Club and many of the community groups meeting at Richmond Club and enjoying free room hire. However, Richmond Club as always goes one step further than most organisations when it comes to supporting our local community.

Our courtesy buses are used by over 200 community groups to offer day trips, transport and outings for seniors, disabled and others, all free of charge with the club paying for maintenance, petrol etc of the buses.

Our Health & Wellbeing Program has developed to include numerous beneficial programs such as Heartmoves Exercise for over 50’s, Seniors Strength training, Flexibility and Fall Prevention, Social Inclusion programs and many other programs for Secondary Health Care. 

Our free wheelchair loan service sees a number of individuals in our community able to better care for themselves as Richmond Club supplies a manual wheelchair, electric wheelchair or even electric scooter on a long term loan at no charge.
The club offers outstanding employment opportunities to local people and at the current time employs 8 school based trainees, 3 apprentices, 2 Youth off the Street, 4 disabled staff and over 250 local people. With training opportunities designed around serving our members needs, we currently have 4 staff undertaking their Certificate 4 in Aged Care, 4 staff undertaking their Certificate 3 in Hospitality, 4 managers undertaking ACCM training and 2 staff learning sign language to better serve our members with special needs.

We are also addressing the future needs of our organisation with trainee managers in both the club and residential aged care as well as having formed an agreement with the University of Western Sydney for work placement in our aged care facilities for both Nursing and Physiotherapy students.
