All of us in this country have a memory of Lady Valerie Goulding. We remember her energy and commitment and the way she tackled causes, in particular those of the disadvantaged. In the 1950s and early 1960s when Lady Goulding started that crusade, not many people rallied to her cause or looked at the causes of disadvantage. She came from a privileged background and was a person of means, but, nevertheless, she dealt directly with young people who, in the main, suffered physical handicap. She went on to work with others who had varying degrees of handicap.
