From the administrators' statement
The Trust was incorporated on 1 August 1996 under the name Tenuregood Limited under the Charity Registration Number 1059029. A General Meeting was later convened on 23 September 1996 to change the name of the Trust to Richard House Trust. Prior to entering administration, the Trust traded from Richard House Children’s Hospice, Richard House Drive, London, E16 3RG.
The Trust was incorporated with the sole purpose of acting as a charity and the charities objects have remained consistent throughout this time. These being, to provide outreach, respite and hospice care for children and young people with special needs in the London boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Newham, Hackney, Barking, Dagenham, Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Islington, Camden, Barnet, Haringey, and Enfield. The Trust’s trading premises was custom build and fitted to act as a hospice and provided specialist clinical care, respite/short break support, family services, and end-of-life care for children and young people with life-limiting and lifethreatening conditions, supporting families across the local area for many years.
The Trust obtained initial support from Newham Council and Royal Docks Community Grant and also secured two National Lottery Charities Board grants to support the capital build of the hospice. The overall capital fundraising appeal target was £4m to cover build costs and the first year running costs.
