Mr Stamper’s Support Recognised by Caterham Rotary Club

Earlier this week, Richard Stamper was invited by Caterham Rotary Club to be the guest of honour at a luncheon where he received a special award.

Many years ago, Richard assumed the mantle of organising Caterham pupils to assist in the Rotary Club’s annual house to house Christmas charity collection and throws himself into it each year with unceasing gusto. Come rain, snow or seasonal illness, he happily spends three hours on nine consecutive December weekday evenings pounding the pavements around Caterham, assisting newcomers and old hands on our pupil body to this most worthy undertaking. Each evening produces around £1,000 of contributions which means that in ten years, Richard has helped raise a sum of almost six figures for local, national and school charities. Our pupils truly gain from this endeavour; seeing and hearing their enthusiasm during these evenings is a joy in itself.
