Commenting on his appointment as a trustee of Cranleigh Village Health Trust, Richard said:
We have had the privilege of living in Cranleigh for nearly 40 years.
I passionately believe that the Community would benefit from the care beds proposed by the CVHT scheme as our demographic ages.
I hope that we can now bring the scheme to fruition with strong community support.
