Robin Hood Foundation

Passionate about bettering the lives and futures of those in need, the Robin Hood Foundation is committed to mobilising resources from businesses and individuals and putting them directly into the hands of the poor grannies, needy mums and children in our surrounding impoverished and AIDS-affected communities.

Robinhood has given us the opportunity to help those less fortunate than we are and to meet the most amazing, uplifting people. Unfortunately we are bombarded, on a daily basis, with negativity but being involved with Robinhood has meant that we are exposed to positivity in the form of people and projects. We thoroughly enjoy volunteering our time and our favourite projects are those dealing with the elderly but Robinhood is in involved in so many different projects that there is something for everyone! Thanks you to Cindy and her merry band for making such a difference in our lives.

ECS loves being involved with the Robin Hood Foundation. The concept of receiving from those who have and giving to those who don’t have is such a simple one – but it is so practical. All the projects fulfil needs in hands-on ways, and show so much love and care. We have complete trust in RHF and its integrity, and are happy that we can make a difference to communities in our area through our involvement and support.”

I’ve been involved with RHF for over 10 years. There are a wide range of projects to become involved in – everything is always so well organised. Every project gives back so much more to me than I can give. It is a privilege to spend time with the aged on the Bless a Granny projects and a delight to spend time with children on any of the HOPE projects. The team of volunteers are dedicated and compassionate people and I’ve learnt a lot from them too.

To be part of the volunteer team for the Robin Hood Foundation and to see the difference they make to so many people in need is so rewarding . You also get to work and have fun alongside amazing people who have “servant hearts” and who don’t look for anything else but to bless those less fortunate - We are far richer in giving than those that are receiving !

It has been a real privilege to work with the Robin Hood Foundation for the last few years. They are an excellent team of people, totally committed to serving the community and uplifting people in need. The projects they run bring a real sense of hope to the beneficiaries and for us, it has been an honour to play just a small part in their ever-unfolding labours of love.

How do I even begin to describe all the good work that the Robinhood foundation does on a daily basis. I have been involved with the charity for nearly a decade now and it never ceases to amaze me how Chairlady Cindy and coordinator Kim work tirelessly to find the most vulnerable and needy in the community and then to immediately plan and execute a project that will fill that need and bring joy and hope and dignity to so many. From the poorest communities, to disabled children to animals the Robinhood has a heart for all. Get behind this charity if you haven't already and be part of something wonderful!

Caxton Local Media has had the pleasure of partnering with the Robin Hood Foundation for the past 10 years. Supporting and getting involved in the Robin Hood Foundation and its activities is a perfect match as the foundation directly benefits the local community. There are a wide variety of short term, and long term sustainable projects and the foundation’s hands-on approach and the opportunity to participate on the ground level, makes the partnership more than just a fundraising one. A group of doers not thinkers, Cindy and Kim and all the other wonderful people involved with the charity, make it easy, enjoyable and rewarding to be involved.

The Robin Hood Foundation is one of Rodel’s most favourite charities to support. Not only do they have a dynamic and energetic board of trustees and awesome volunteers, we know exactly where our funding goes and get to be a part of the many outreach programmes they have. From blessing Granny’s and Grandpa’s during special times of the year, being involved in the building of crèche’s and schools to feeding child headed households. There are no bounds for this awesome foundation. Little by little they improve the lives of the most impoverished and needy in the Durban area.

“Putting people first” is a core ARB principle. The RHF demonstrates this principle through their selfless, passionate and tireless efforts to address societal imbalances. We are privileged to partner with the RHF – team. ARB has participated in the many RHF outreach programs over the years, from building schools to handing out Gogo bags with the most current involvement being the Mandela Day drive at Lalelani Primary. These initiatives have inspired the staff at ARB and created a great opportunity for team building. We thank the RHF team for their commitment and wish them ongoing success in changing people’s lives.
