If you work in the north west of Oxfordshire, or deliver care services in Gloucestershire and may be you are a member of GCPA, you may have heard the very sad news of the sudden death of Riki Moody at the ridiculously young age of 46.



Riki was for many years, Chief Officer at Gloucestershire Care Providers Association, as well as being an influential figure within, and Treasurer for seven years of, the Care Association Alliance. He was part of the original team that set up the CAA and continued to be a major figure as the Alliance grew and spread across England. He was also regular attender at Digital Care Hub events. He had a love of life, the Gloucestershire Care Awards were the stuff of legend, and he brought that fun and irreverence into his work, whilst also working hard to make systems work better for local care providers. He will much missed by the wider care community he was in contact with.

Riki's funeral and celebration of his life will be held on Wednesday 25 March in Cheltenham and you can request attendance via his GCPA colleague Pip Wilson.

In lieu of flowers, Riki left wishes for donations to be sent to Hope for Tomorrow.
