My wife, Susan Moser, who has died aged 76, was well known locally for her charity work and services to the wider community of Elstree and Borehamwood in Hertfordshire.
For 50 years – inspired by our son Richard, who has learning disabilities – Susan was variously a trustee, vice-chair and chair of Hertsmere Mencap. In the 1980s she created and produced the Zipadeedoo-Day, an annual Mencap fete at which a celebrity would start events – Una Stubbs, John Conteh and the actor Rudolph Walker being among those that she cold-called and personally persuaded to take part.
