“The song is ended but the melody lingers on” – Irving Berlin It is with deep sadness, we share that our #BigQuestions founder, Alan Richards, passed away over the weekend. Alan was dedicated to supporting schools by showing what true ethical Governance leadership embodied.. 1/3

As the quote reminds us, Alan's messages remain to steer many GBs into the future. Those of us who had the pleasure of working with him, will remember his innate kindness & true ethical approach. Our thoughts & love are with his family as they navigate these next days. 2/3

Whilst we mourn his loss, there is comfort in knowing this wonderful legacy will live on through others. Requiescat In Pace Alan, and may God bless his family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with Alan's family at this sad time. We met when training as NLGs and then as IGovS colleagues. His kindness & wisdom will be missed by many who knew him. RIP Alan ❤️
