Meet the Host, Christopher Legrand

Christopher has spent his life in or near Dorset, enjoying the beautiful surroundings of the New Forest, Bournemouth, Poole, and the Jurassic Coast. Aside from a brief stint commuting to London, his career remained rooted in East Dorset, where he worked as a Chartered Surveyor and ran a surveying and property agency for nearly 50 years.

In 1982, he became a Justice of the Peace, serving until 1999. Moved by the plight of homeless youth during the 1980s and 90s, he founded the charity ‘HyPed’ to support them. Under his leadership, it raised over £1.5 million, opened housing, and helped more than 400 young people before merging with Bournemouth Churches Housing Association.

Christopher also founded the Gospel Voices Choir and performs in the trio ‘Spiritual Expression,’ raising funds for churches and charities. In retirement, he enjoys travel, photography, and sharing these experiences with his wife, Rosemary.

More Information

What if I can’t make the event?

If a recording’s available for the event, you can still register for it and we will send you an email with a link to a recording shortly after it ends.

Will my camera be on and will I be visible to the other people?

Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.

How do I watch the live event?

Rest Less events are hosted on Zoom, a computer application that allows you to attend online events just by clicking a link. For detailed instructions, please go to our "FAQ" page, which you can find a link to in the nav bar at the top of the page.

How do I sign-up for and access the recording? (Recorded events only)

Book the event as normal (as if you are attending live). After the event ends you will automatically receive a post-event email with a link to the recording, as long as the event was recorded. You do not need to do anything else and there is no separate booking process for recordings only. Please note it can take up to 24 hours for Zoom to process recordings.
