I should say at the outset that I am inordinately proud to play a very small part as chairman of fundraising for the WheelPower charity, for wheelchair sport. Over the years, it has been a great benefit to me personally to have been able to work with charities. For instance, I worked with Sue Ryder in raising capital funding for the new hospice in Peterborough at Thorpe Hall. We raised more than £100,000 over five years. In Peterborough, we were lucky to have some superb charities, the Leprosy Mission and Kidney Research UK being two.
