RX Expands Global Charitable Giving Programme With Two New Inclusion and Diversity Partnerships


Events RX Press Releases

Richmond, Greater London, UK, 7 September 2026 RX has announced two new partnerships as part of its global charitable giving programme, welcoming Multicultural Richmond in the UK and the Northeast Black Law Students Association (NEBLSA) in the United States.  

The organisations have been selected through RX's Global Race & Ethnicity Committee (GREC) and join the company's five-year, $1 million commitment to supporting organisations that advance inclusion and diversity around the world. 

Although operating in different countries, both organisations share a goal: helping people learn, develop new skills and access brighter futures. RX will support initiatives ranging from English language learning and community integration to leadership development and career opportunities for aspiring legal professionals.

Ray Rhodes, Head of Diversity & Inclusion at RX, said: 

"We're proud to welcome Multicultural Richmond and NEBLSA to our global charitable giving programme. Both organisations are creating opportunities that can have a lasting impact on people's lives.  

"By supporting education, skills development and community connection, these partnerships help people build confidence, pursue their ambitions and access opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach. They also give our colleagues opportunities to volunteer, mentor and learn from the communities our partners serve. We're excited to see what we can achieve together over the years ahead."

Strengthening communities through language, learning and connection

For more than 30 years, Multicultural Richmond has helped create a more inclusive and connected community across Richmond upon Thames and neighbouring boroughs. 

Support from RX will enable the charity to deliver English language classes for more than 200 people, alongside health and wellbeing programmes, digital literacy training and multicultural events that celebrate diversity and strengthen community connections.

Ravi Arora, Director of Multicultural Richmond, said: 

"We are excited to partner with RX to raise awareness of, and celebrate, the different cultures represented in the Richmond community, and to create a more equitable society through the services we'll be able to provide as a result of our partnership." 

Supporting the next generation of legal leaders 

Founded in 1968, the Northeast Black Law Students Association (NEBLSA) works to increase representation within the legal profession by supporting Black and minority law students throughout their academic and professional journeys. 

Through the partnership, NEBLSA will deliver educational programmes, leadership development opportunities and career-focused events, including business education workshops, an event management and sponsorship bootcamp for student leaders, and support for its Regional Convention.

Commenting on the partnership, Kimberly Guerrero, Chair of NEBLSA, said:

“I believe this collaboration can serve as a strong model for how industry leaders and student organisations can work together to build a more diverse, prepared and connected pipeline of future professionals.”

The two organisations join a growing network of charities supported through RX’s global charitable giving programme. Across the world, RX partners with organisations focused on education, mentoring, skills development and community support, including Australia’s GO Foundation, France’s Rêv’Elles, Brazil’s Adus Institute and Iniciativa Empresarial pela Igualdade Racial, Germany’s Multikulturelles Forum, South Africa’s 18twenty8 and Oliver’s House, and A Better Chance Darien in the US. 

Together, the partnerships reflect RX's commitment to creating opportunities, supporting underrepresented communities and helping people realise their potential.
