Richard Brooks

I took over as Chairman of Young Leicestershire in summer 2017, fitting this role in whilst still working full time as a Chartered Surveyor and running the family farm at Wistow. My wife Diana is a tireless fund-raiser for UK Youth (of which Young Leicestershire is a member), and I came across YL in my year of being High Sheriff for the County in 2012-13. Born in Leicestershire and now living at Wistow, I am thrilled to be part of a team that has great plans for Young Leicestershire over the next 5 years. I admire the focus on providing support to member clubs across the City and County who offer so many opportunities for our young people to develop and become model citizens of the future.
