It is with deep sadness that we must inform you of the death earlier today, 29th March 2018, of Rescare’s founder, Richard Jackson. Richard was the motivating force behind the foundation of Rescare in 1984, and served Rescare in the roles of Chairman and latterly of Honorary President. Many members of Rescare will have met or spoken to Richard over the years. In 1994 Richard was awarded the MBE for his services with Rescare on behalf of people with learning disabilities, their carers and especially family carers. Our thoughts are with Richard’s family at this sad time. A full obituary will appear in due course on this website and in Resnews.
