Before arriving at LCF a few years ago, Rich worked for Global Radio’s charities for 18 years. Here he mainly focused on Help a London Child’s small grants and bespoke programmes, such as Free Sport for All in the run up to and post London 2012 Olympics. More recently he worked on Have a Heart, Classic FM Foundation, Music Potential and was responsible for the new grant programme across the UK for Global’s Make Some Noise which launched in 2014.

Role

Rich is a Grants Programme Lead at LCF. This means that he liaises with our fund holders to determine their respective themes and criteria, and then manages the applications and assessment processes, as well as reporting on the difference the funding has made to groups across the capital.
