Ex Police Chief Joins Every Action Has Consequences Charity

Pat and Dave Rogers started EAHC. Their son, Adam, died in 2009. A teenager punched Adam in Blackburn. The attack took place as Adam walked him away from a fight.

Andy Rhodes now supports EAHC. He once led Lancashire Police’s East Division. Pat and Dave inspired him, transforming a tragedy into good work. Rhodes wants to help EAHC’s crime prevention.

Rhodes knows Lancashire and charities well. He believes in Pat’s positive work. The charity must raise its profile and needs help with fundraising. Adam’s death affected Rhodes deeply.

Rhodes knew Pat and Dave through Jane. Jane was a family liaison officer. He helped raise awareness for EAHC earlier and feels honored to help them again now.

Rhodes wants to promote EAHC’s programs. He wants to use what he knows about Lancashire and hopes to support the EAHC team. Rhodes wants to remind them their work matters.

Patricia Rogers received an award in 2015 for “Inspirational Woman of the Year.” EAHC has engaged with many young people, working with about half a million. The charity gives talks in schools and prisons.

EAHC provides free learning materials. Primary and secondary schools use them across the country. They faced challenges after Dave’s death. The pandemic also made things hard on charities. EAHC now looks to the future with hope.

EAHC held an event at Ewood Park. Speakers included Rhodes and Pat. Sue Clarke also spoke, from a violence prevention group. Bob Eastwood represented the English Football League.

Pat wants young people to question violence. EAHC explores how to handle anger and examines personal responsibility. Young people consider events from the night Adam died. They see how walking away could have saved him.

Pat finds it hard to explain her drive. Dave’s death in 2021 was difficult, as he was essential to the charity. She considered stopping their work, but knew Dave would have wanted her to continue. Tim, her son, now helps in schools and prisons.

Trustees became more involved in raising funds. EAHC strengthened connections to local groups and built stronger links with Lancashire Police as well. Rhodes’ support will help sustain their efforts. Schools confirm their work is still needed.
