HEALTH SERVICE SUPPORT
In April 2020 he auctioned a ranged of his hockey equipment and memorabilia including his first Great Britain cap to raise money for Britain's National Health Service [NHS] during the COVID-19 pandemic. "I just wanted to help the NHS given everything we're seeing all over the news and social media. Normally whenever I have a clear-out I'll drop a bag of clothes into the local charity shop. But with them not taking anything at the moment I wondered if I did something else like this it might work instead. I was really thinking that maybe people at my club, Surbiton, would get involved and we could raise a few hundred quid. A few hours later I checked on my phone and it was already well over a grand and it has just continued to grow." (heraldscotland.com, 20 Apr 2020)
