Riverview Charitable Trust is a community led UK registered charity based in Purfleet-on-Thames which, for over 10 years, has been engaging and supporting local residents experiencing disadvantage.
Our core values, principles and objectives are to:
Improve safety, health and wellbeing
Improve education and opportunity
Build a stronger local community
Through knowledge and understanding of local people and their needs gleaned from more than 15 years of positive and reliable resident engagement, Riverview offers community based programmes that work at a local level addressing education, safety, health and wellbeing.
Dedicated volunteers and staff currently provide over 2,000 hours of their time each year and have been instrumental in helping us deliver our objectives and to progress to where we are now. Many of our volunteers have gained invaluable experience, received training in various roles and later become employees of the Trust, strengthening community life for all.
We focus on strengthening family, children and youth provision in our community in order to improve and enable the lives of those at risk and experiencing disadvantage.

Overall Rating
Thank you so much to Riverview Charitable Trust for providing such excellent services. Your parent baby/toddler group is absolutely amazing. My little girl had been coming to the baby/toddler group sessions since she was a few months old , (she's now at Nursery). She absolutely loved coming to the playgroups on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, there was so much for her to do and explore and as she got older it helped her socialise with other children ( especially after the pandemic). These groups have also helped me as a parent meet other mums and dads, and have allowed us to actually have some time for ourselves to build friendships. Also, I would like to mention how great the youth group is at providing a safe, fun place for the older children in our local community. Both the toddler group and the youth group have fantastic staff that are so approachable and friendly and make coming to these groups a wonderful experience. Thank you 😊
My son has recently attended the toddler group at the St Stephens Church Hall. What a great little place. He is able to try new toys and activities and also meet children (he is 15 months so has missed a lot due to covid). Activites are different each week too. The ladies there are fantastic and you feel so safe (everything is cleaned). I would really recommend to all parents in Purfleet. The fact they volunteer to do this is amazing and only ask for a donation. Brilliant! Thank you so much ladies.
Keep up the good work!
The Trust are doing some excellent work in the Purfleet Community, particularly with children and young people. Committed staff and an amazing team of volunteers.
