On setting up the London-based charity Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI), which supports organisations in countries where there are acid attacks, I turned to James Partridge for advice.

James gave generously of his time on the kind of help they needed, and subsequently became our treasurer. There are hundreds of women and children around the world who now lead improved lives thanks to his work.
