Clive Richards Foundation

The Ulysses Trust is delighted to be supported by the Clive Richards Foundation.

The Clive Richards Foundation has been supporting The Ulysses Trust since May 2023 following several decades of support from the late Clive Richards esq CBE KSG DL.

Clive was a generous supporter of The Ulysses Trust for many years. He was a supporter of the DARC STAR expedition which ultimately led to the creation of The Ulysses Trust. However, Clive’s interest in the charity did not end with DARC STAR. As one of the founding Trustees of the charity his enthusiasm and forward thinking helped the Trust broaden its outlook to include cadet expeditions alongside reservist exercises.

After standing down as a Trustee, in 2015, he agreed to become a Vice Patron and continued to support the Trust. In this capacity also, Clive was instrumental in focusing our attention on community cohesion to ensure and demonstrate that our work is getting to where it is most needed.

Clive played a crucial role in the work of the charity spanning several decades. The Trust can never thank him enough for his generosity and support in so many ways over the years. We will do our best in our ongoing work to support young cadets. We will miss him!

Here is a selection of just some of the expeditions that together with the Clive Richards Foundation, The Ulysses Trust has been able to fund:
