Everyone at Resources for Autism is deeply saddened by the death of Edward Stourton, who served as a valued Trustee for ten years.

Edward gave generously of his time, experience and judgement, helping guide our charity through an important period of its development. He was respected for his thoughtful counsel, kindness and commitment to our mission.

We are enormously grateful for all he contributed to Resources for Autism and send our heartfelt condolences to Fiona and the whole family at this difficult time.

Read the BBC Obituary for an account of his life and achievements:

Stourton hosted Radio 4's Today programme for a decade and was a founding member of Channel 4 News.

It was wonderful to see so much creativity and self-expression shared in one space. Every doodle and sketch was a reminder that there are so many different ways to connect, unwind and express ourselves. 🎨
