This month we say a fond farewell to Richard Mills, The Food Chain's Director of Income Generation & Partnerships. Richard has been with us since December 2020 when he came on board as Trusts Fundraiser, bringing with him a wealth of experience from both the public and third sector. When Siobhán Lanigan left her post as Chief Executive in December 2022, Richard was the natural choice to step in to a new co-Director role. Since then he has been instrumental in establishing a new leadership model for The Food Chain, taking responsibility for securing our income streams as well as working collaboratively on our strategic direction.
Richard's talents, instincts, genuine passion and level head have brought so much to The Food Chain over the last few years. Not only in terms of strategic leadership and income generation, but he was also the first person to bring Nutella donuts into our lives.
We will miss Richard greatly, but are excited for his next adventure. Some words from him: "After three and a half very rewarding and happy years at The Food Chain, I am leaving to pursue a new challenge in the charity sector. I've always been amazed at the hard work and dedication of the many volunteers that support the most vulnerable people living with HIV from across the whole of London. As we always say nobody ever really leaves and I look forward to attending a Food Chain event in the not so distant future."
Recruitment is underway for a new Director of Income Generation, so watch this space for updates.
