Richard Lupton

Senior Engagement and Fundraising Officer (North)

I work across the North of England, Scotland and Wales, raising awareness and building partnerships with businesses, organisations, and community groups to help bring Lifelites vision to life.

Following a long career delivering challenge events to the charity sector, I transitioned to a corporate fundraising role in 2023. I have worked with SMEs and multinational companies to deliver effective and mutually beneficial strategic partnerships built on a strong shared purpose. As a tech and gaming obsessed father of two, I am passionate about our mission to enable children and young people with life-limiting conditions to play, create and communicate by harnessing the power of sensory and assistive technology.

Childhood memory – Summer holiday trips to Scarborough and spending most of the day in the arcade playing winner stays on at Street Fighter 2 with the local kids.

If you are based in the North of England, Scotland or Wales and would like to support children and families across your region, please contact me on rlupton@lifelites.org
