Richard was a passionate and energetic lecturer who inspired so many people from all walks of life to reach their potential. He worked with numerous projects and organisations locally and internationally which spread the reach and impact of this even further.

So many people have generously said they would like to make donations in memory of Richard. We've had a number of ideas related to Richard's aspirations. Many of you who knew Richard know he was very committed personally and professionally to providing opportunities for people from many different circumstances to reach their potential particularly through education, something he believed to be a basic right for all.

He leaves a legacy we would like to add to that furthers his ambition to enable everyone an equal opportunity in this respect. We are looking at a number of options including raising money for a charity or setting up a scholarship. We would like to take a week or two to come to a decision. Any donations would be greatly appreciated and of course once we have decided we will let you know the exact nature of this.

Many thanks.
