Frank Letch, former Mayor of Crediton and Chairman of Mid Devon District Council, passed away earlier this year. A passionate advocate for disability rights and a tireless community leader, Franks life was marked by resilience, humour, and service. His 2022 autobiography,Just In Case, offers a candid and touching personal history - rich with anecdotes, romantic adventures, challenges, laughter, and well-earned recognition.
In the books foreword, Frank wrote that his aim was to give his family - seven children, their partners, and nine grandchildren - an insight as to who I was and am. He also hoped it would offer encouragement to children of Reach and their families, to anyone with a physical difference or mental health challenge. He added, of his life story: There are no right answers, but just the experiences of someone who has had a challenging life.

During the evening, Natalia will read selected passages fromJust In Case, while she and Steve share memories and reflections on Franks remarkable life. The event will conclude with an open Q&A session.
Frank lived his life with extraordinary courage, humour and compassion, said Natalia Letch. This event is a chance to share his story, celebrate his achievements, and reflect on the love and laughter he brought to so many lives. Im honoured to be able to read from his book and keep his voice alive in our community.
Join us for an evening of remembrance, inspiration, and community spirit.
