We were delighted to be awarded £248,000 by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and we are now seeking an energetic and experienced fund raiser to join the team to develop our £3.6m heritage project ‘St Richard’s 60:60 – celebrating our first 60 years and preparing for the next’. We are currently also recruiting a Project Manager and Community Engagement and Activity Plan Consultant and Business Plan consultant and Evaluation consultant will be appointed in the New Year. The project is to restore our iconic Modern building and celebrate the first 60 years of our Church as a launchpad for the future.
St Richard’s church was built in 1964 in the heart of a new housing estate alongside a new Primary School. It is a striking and flexible building with a strong presence forming part of the Ham Riverside identity. It has a number of significant architectural and artistic features acknowledged by its Grade II listing and its timber hyperbolic paraboloid roof is one of the few remaining examples in the country. However the roof covering is failing, and the unique timber shell construction is deteriorating rapidly. The seriousness of this is evidenced by its inclusion on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register. Our goal is to give our church a secure and sustainable future as a home for a thriving Church and a welcoming space for community groups and activities. Our Heritage Fund project will repair and restore the building and provide opportunities to bring its heritage to life for local residents and visitors from wider afield, while meeting community needs.

Are you passionate about volunteers and digital inclusion? Join us to coordinate Bexley’s Digital Champions, inspiring and supporting volunteers to help residents navigate the online world with confidence.
The digital world is all around us, yet many residents are being left behind. Around one in twenty adults has never used the internet, and many more struggle with access, skills, or confidence.

About you
We’d love to hear from you if you:
· Have experience supporting or managing volunteers.
· Are confident using digital tools (like email, forms, and video calls) and can explain them clearly to others.
· Enjoy building relationships and working collaboratively with partners.
