Farewell and Thanks

Head of fundraising and long-term ALF supporter, Patrick (Paddy) Redding has sadly been forced to stand down from his role due to increasing personal and professional commitments.

Paddy and Aaron played rugby at Westcliff RFC for many years, and he was one of the founding members of The Collective (a group of playing friends who came together to celebrate Aaron’s life through rugby). Paddy has been helping with the annual ALF 10s and running the event advertising since its inception, and then with broader fundraising efforts as time went on.

Although we are sorry to see him go, he will continue to support ALF events and he maintains his commitment to the local community through his crew membership of the RNLI in Essex, and we wish him every success in the future.
