H&F Giving commissioned research organisation Rocket Science to produce a report to better understand areas of need within our local Hammersmith and Fulham community. Click here to access the report. 

The report presents a comprehensive overview of the challenges facing our community. These include income and debt, basic living needs, community cohesion, health and wellbeing, education and employment, digital inclusion and other problems including lack of access to arts & culture, violence and abuse and climate change.

The full picture will enable us to work with our charity partners to provide long-term cost-effective solutions to the problems our neighbours are facing.

What we are doing now

Having read the findings of the report, we knew we had to do something to address the issues that our borough is facing. Which is why we have launched A Better Hammersmith and Fulham. Our aim is to raise £1m over three years, with the money donated going to fund the local organisations that we support that are doing incredible work.  

We are hugely ambitious and will need the generosity of our local community to provide the much-needed funds to support this ambitious programme of work. As well as collaborating with local government and statutory services, we will also seek to work with local philanthropists, corporates, foundations and individual givers. 

We would like to thank everyone who took part in advancing our understanding of local need through this consultation. Together, we look forward to building a strong and connected community with a brighter and fairer future in Hammersmith and Fulham, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
