Letter: James Partridge obituary

John Morrison writes: There are hundreds of women and children around the world who now lead improved lives thanks to James Partridge’s work

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. I needed guidance with developing support systems for women and children who had been attacked with acid, and so had severe facial injuries.

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.
