Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Our
much loved friend and colleague Ross Gallagher passed away unexpectedly last week.

Ross was a truly valued member of our team, the organisation we work for, NECS, and our NHS family for which he made a wonderful contribution in so many ways.  He was hardworking and dedicated to supporting his team members and local health care communities.  He will be greatly missed by ourselves and remembered lovingly as the happy chappy with an incredible sense of humour.

As he touched so many lives, many people have asked how they can honour his memory. The family has asked that donations are made to Mind Middlesbrough & Stockton who are a Teesside based mental health charity and with their agreement, we have set up this JustGiving page. The charity believes that everyone has the right to enjoy good mental health and have access to the best possible care and services, that everyone needs to remember that "nobody should face a mental health problem alone" and that support is available. This is our belief too and we hope that we can help them with their great work. You can read more about their services here - Support for you (middlesbroughandstocktonmind.org.uk)
