Giving back
In 2017, my wife Moni and I established the Randal Foundation, giving it worldwide reach from the very start. Giving back, saving lives and improving life chances for a million people is our goal. We’ll achieve that through strong partnerships and collaborations which will powerfully drive change. Join us! ~ Dr Nik Kotecha OBE DL
