Phoenix Trustee Passes Away

John Richardson, a local Trustee of the Phoenix Resource Centre, has sadly passed away.

The Phoenix Resource Centre, originally based in Wellingborough, is a longstanding family-run organisation set up in 2009. Along with his wife and son, John formed a charity aiming to utilise spare or unwanted consumer goods and pass them on to where they are needed. 

John was the motivating force driving some amazing projects that Phoenix are still running today.  They have established links with local suppliers to help them manage their unwanted goods saving them hundreds of thousands of pounds per week and aiding them to reach their environmental targets. 

The local branch of the Phoenix Resource Centre based in Portland Road, Rushden was launched in 2024.

Right up to the end, John would be a welcoming face at the door of the Centre in Rushden to greet all who came in, or out collecting from suppliers.  He will be greatly missed.John Richardson, a local Trustee of the Phoenix Resource Centre, has sadly passed away.
