We are a charity run by and for Disabled People.
Ruils is a user-led charity supporting Disabled children and adults and people with long term health & mental health conditions to live independently, be part of their community and to live life to the full. We provide information, advice, advocacy, befriending and activities to our clients and their families.
We deliver a range of holistic, outcome-focused services that remove the barriers to living an independent life across Richmond, Hounslow, Wandsworth and Kingston boroughs in SW London.
At the heart of Ruils is our belief that although we are all different, every human being has the right to live the life of their choice and to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their impairment, age or health status. We adhere to the Social Model of Disability that holds that it is not the individual’s impairment or illness that disables them, rather it is the barriers that society creates that are disabling.
We bid a fond farewell to our lovely Ladies’ Captain, Lucia Albrecht, at her Farewell Lunch on Tuesday 10th March.
Lucia’s charity for her year was Richmond Aid, a charity run by and for disabled people in the local area, supporting them to lead independent lives with the same opportunities as non-disabled people.
At the lunch, Lucia was proud to present them with a cheque for £23,100.
This fantastic amount was raised through various events during the year, with many thanks to all our members for their support and kind generosity.
Lucia will now hand over to Nicky Russell, who will become the new Ladies’ Captain after our AGM on 17th March 2026.
On Friday, February 27th 112 Club Members and guests attended the annual Captain’s Farewell Dinner. During his year in office, Captain Ron Lay’s charity was Momentum, a local charity who support families across Southwest London, Surrey and Sussex whose children are receiving treatment for Cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
Our 2025 Champion was James Tyler from Ipswich with a 69. Having previously been pipped an couple of times on countback James was delighted to eventually win the trophy.
Many congratulations James
Congratulations to our winners Charles, Shenagh, David and Rekha!
