Below is an article from the newsletter about Emmaus Bristol's Director Richard Pendlebury.
We are proud and delighted to report that on April 7th our Director, Richard Pendlebury, was made an MBE in recognition of his charitable services to the community of Bristol. Richard has been working for Emmaus Bristol for 10 years and played a key role in setting up the Community in Bristol.
For the last 6 years he has been a trustee of Emmaus UK which supports the work of Emmaus Communities and fledgling groups throughout the UK. He also founded the charity Changing Tunes which uses music to rehabilitate offenders, and brought his fundraising skills to Network Counselling and to the development of Filwood Hope in Knowle. Beyond Bristol, Richard was instrumental in raising the finance for the Beacon Centre in a disadvantaged community in Cardiff.
Richard is a generous and inspirational communicator and, in the Emmaus tradition of Solidarity, he is always willing to help other organisations by sharing his skills and experience.
