After a long and hard fight this year, it’s with deep sadness that we announce Andy’s passing on Sunday 12th May. Some of you may know that he had been battling cancer for some time now. Whilst we are devastated, we are comforted to know that his passing was peaceful.

In lieu of flowers for his funeral, we are sure he would much rather donations be made towards Millbrook Suite (at Kidderminster Hospital), who cared for him immensely during his Chemotherapy treatment and Riverside House (https://riverside-house.org.uk/), one of many flourishing social enterprises in Dudley he worked so tirelessly to create during his time at the council.

Donations will be equally distributed.
