Richard feels passionately about inclusive access to music, and music education. One of the ways he chooses to give back to his community is through his voluntary work at a local charity - Hamoaze House - where he runs a recreational music group for community members working through drug and alcohol problems. This experience has seen him work and make music with a wide range of individuals, some of whom, facing complex physical and mental health conditions. He finds his work at Hamoaze both inspiring and very rewarding.
