Dr Richard Hall, Chairman

Richard Hall - Chairman or Trustees.  I  have been a GP for over 30 years, and a trustee since the charity was formed. I am passionate about  enabling equality and opportunities in all individuals .  It has been a privilege to be part of a passionate team that has grown the charity in both  UK and Latin America. The result has been the transformation of lives of people with disability,  allowing them to develop their potential, as well as changing society attitudes.

include walking and dog sports with her Parson Russell Terrier 'Pixel'. She is passionate about enabling people of all abilities to support themselves and their families and loves the way Artizan
demonstrates that ethos so widely, in the UK as well as in Peru and Ecuador.
