Bring Richard Home

The sad and tragic passing of Richard Prosser in the UK on June 10th has left a gaping hole in many peoples’ lives, not just his immediate family and friends. He was a husband, father, son, brother, relative, colleague, friend, activist and political and social commentator. However you might have known him, his death will have touched you in some personal way and each of you will be going through your own journey with that knowledge.

His family have been so deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support from friends and the community, it is a small comfort to them in their time of distress and mourning. His wife has said "It means a lot to know how many lives he has touched, and how far his reach and words have spread.”

It is not always easy in times like these to know how to honour his life and memory or how to support the family left behind. Many have asked what they can do and offered help, so we have set up a givealittle page to help fund and support the expensive business of bringing him home to New Zealand. He needs to come back to Central Otago, a place he loved and where a piece of his heart still is. Anything, you can give, however small, to support this would be deeply appreciated and most welcome at this difficult time.

Any funds raised beyond that which is needed to bring him home will be donated to mental health charities in New Zealand.

Thank you in advance for your gift. Your support means so much to his family at this time.
