Support good causes within our community and be in with a chance to win cash every quarter!
For just £60 a year (or £5 per month), you’ll be entered into our next draw with three cash prizes up for grabs – the more members, the bigger the winnings.
Once prize money is allocated, the remainder of the pot goes to a good local cause – the Mill End Food Bank this time – and for RDRA admin costs.
Iris Bangs receives the donation from RDRA Membershp Secretary Anne.
The latest good cause to receive a donation from the 100+ Club is the Mill End Food Bank, run by incredibly dedicated people. We plan on giving them another donation after the next draw as well – the more people who sign up to the RDRA 100+ Club, the bigger the charity donations!
Chris Hillier receives a donation on behalf of Workaid.org from our Chairman Ash, following his talk at our AGM. Sue Lacey from WoodoaksFarm.org receives a donation from our Chairman Ash, following her talk at our AGM.
It’s now almost two years since local group Sustainable Three Rivers CIC (S3R) built Rickmansworth’s very first community garden in the orchard. During this time the garden has gone from strength to strength, tended by a team of loyal volunteers who cultivate vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers. The S3R team has also spent over a year working with TRDC to restore and improve the rose garden. Plants are now mainly climate resilient and pollinator- friendly, improving biodiversity and attracting a wide variety of insects and birds. All of us at S3R are grateful to RDRA for their recent generous donation, enabling our highly valued work to continue. Various resources such as gardening tools, bulbs, seeds, soil, bug pots and magnifying glasses have been bought, not only for use in the community and rose gardens, but also for workshops in local schools. Over the last few months S3R has also run a popular winter fruit tree pruning workshop and a very enjoyable story time and bug hunting session for young children, in collaboration with Rickmansworth library. At the beginning of May a workshop on how to plant a pollinator- friendly summer hanging basket is being held and is proving very popular. Finally, we were delighted by the response to our recent nature-themed art competition, aimed at brightening up a subway in Rickmansworth. With the support of two local Herts councillors, the subway has been transformed into a much more attractive, welcoming place, reminding residents of the importance of living more sustainably. So, many thanks to RDRA for your support. We’re very grateful and look forward to developing more sustainability-linked projects over the next year.

It was a bright and beautiful day for the next RDRA 100+ Club prize draw, held at the Cafe in the Park in Rickmansworth on Friday 26th January. We had a delicious lunch and marvelled at how busy the place was – the Aquadrome really is the heart of Rickmansworth! As per the last draw, we used a Random Number Generator to draw the winners and they will be contacted very soon – congratulations to them!
