Foundry is coming to Richmond

As the search for a location for Richmond's first Foundry site continues, we're connecting with youth, parents, schools, community centres, and community members to get feedback on what Foundry Richmond will look like. Get involved by connecting with us on social media, attending an engagement session, and staying tuned for updates. For more information, email info@foundryrichmond.com

South Arm Youth Forum

In April 2019 the South Arm Community Center's youth council invited us to join a youth forum. The theme of the forum was to inform as well as gather youth ideas and concerns regarding FOUNDRY coming to Richmond. We gathered some of the questions we asked and the responses we received below.

Thank you to everyone that came together to make the event possible!

Gabby's story

Gabby's story was shared with attendees at the Richmond Hospital Foundation Starlight Gala on October 27, 2018.

Her story was the inspiration for our "Leadership Challenge" benefiting Foundry Richmond, a new centre providing services including primary care, public health, mental health and substance use services, as well as social services all under one roof for the first time in Richmond.

The goal of Foundry Richmond will be to provide safe, non-judgmental care, information and resources, and work to reach young people earlier – before health challenges become problematic.
