Richard Dell, Resident Board Member

 

Richard has lived with Housing 21 for over two years. His decision to sell his house was motivated by a desire to simplify his life, address climate change through communal living and promote inter-generational equity by passing on his assets to the younger generation.  

With 26 years of experience as a qualified accountant, Richard held significant roles throughout his career, including Chief Finance Officer for a local authority and Financial Accountant for a national charity. His early career included nursing and actuarial work, and since retirement, he has volunteered extensively, particularly in the Buddhist community where he is ordained. Richard is also a Trustee of Triratna Buddhist Community (Newcastle).

Richard is keen to join Housing 21's Board to contribute his financial expertise, governance experience and commitment to tenant advocacy, recognising the vital role resident feedback plays in shaping effective policies.
