Janet Marshall
Janet joined Enrych (originally called Ryder Cheshire Volunteers) as volunteer and has remained one for over twenty years. This is in addition to her role as a trustee which she has done for fifteen years. She joined the charity because she wanted to make a difference, and her ethos from being a nurse, is to care for everyone, irrespective of who they are, and work to provide and value each one as a member of society.
She has many hobbies including reading, cinema, theatre, walking and swimming.
Richard Thorne
Leaving school at 15, Richard started full time work with the MoD as an Industrial Civil Servant. Having spare time on his hands, he joined the Royal Auxiliary Air Force RAF Regiment for a brief time followed by a time as a Retained Fireman at his local fire station.
After about a year and following his first industrial accident, he had to leave the fire service. He then sustained his second industrial accident, a crush injury to his spine. This time he was medically retired in November 1995. Having plenty of spare time, he picked up his cameras once again which has become his real passion. It has helped him with depression, which he has experienced as a result of chronic pain. He has been a member of Enrych for over 10 years and thoroughly enjoys all aspects of the charity. He has made loads of new friends and Enrych has helped him achieve some of his lifelong photographic goals. He feels now is the time to give something back to Enrych and very much looks forward to joining the other Trustees.
Simon Clifford
Simon spent over 30 years as an IT consultant before retiring in 2022. For the last 5 years he has been a volunteer for Enrych and has gained a genuine understanding of the barriers which are presented to those with limited mobility in daily life.
Now a trustee, Simon is looking forward to using his commercial skills as a former company director in the role of treasurer. He is also keen to promote the rewards of our volunteer work and to raise awareness of the charity’s services. As both a keen baker and hill walker, Simon has enjoyed combining these passions with fund raising events and hopes to do more of this in the future.
Stella Nwadike
Stella has experience working with people living with disability and social isolation. She graduated from Oxford Brookes University. She believes that disabled people have skills and talents that can propel our society and the world at large. Stella has a genuine interest in the welfare of people. Her understanding is that people living with a disability are not given equal opportunities as society has failed to create a physical world that serves all irrespective of ability or disability. Her ethos: ''Be authentic, embrace all aspects of yourself and your ability because it is the totality of who you are or have become''.
Stella is interested in making a difference in people's lives. Her hobbies include traveling, reading, and playing lawn tennis.''
