Richard is passionate about the people that taught him his profession within the disability community as he knows he wouldn’t be where he is today without their input or their guidance.
His connections and support for disabilities are helping and supporting Blesma, (British Limbless Association) Royal British Legion, Help the Heroes, and of course sporting events, Paralympics, Invictus games, and the World Disability Games.
