Hello my name is Richard

I'm a feisty northerner that's lived in London for 15 years.  I'm 40.  I moved away from my hometown 20 years ago.  You can take the boy out of Grimsby! My passions are modern languages, environmentalism, social justice, friends and family.  I've been diagnosed with Bipolar Type 1 for 15 years.  I love a chat and intend to be active on this site.  I've also just joined 'The Disability Union' (disabilityunion.co.uk).  I share the vision of uniting all 14million disabled people across the UK to effect change.   I intend to make saving the planet accessible to all disabled people and am strongly leaned towards driving change in policy, awareness and attitude.
