Dear Friends, Family and Colleagues of our wonderful Neil, 

It would have been Neil's wish that rather than spend our money on flowers and gifts, we continue his passion for social change by donating to a charity very close to his heart, Raise the Roof. 

Neil had been a regular donor of the charity, founded by his friend and colleague, for over 4 years. Neil always wore his Raise the Roof T-shirt to the gym, glowed with pride as he spoke about the work the organisation was doing and could often be heard spreading the word and showing videos of what they had achieved. 

"I'll never forget walking into one of our trucks at work and wondering why I could hear my own voice, only to realise that Neil was playing one of our charity videos to work colleagues that didn't know about Raise the Roof. Without him seeing me, I snuck away, full of pride knowing that he really believed in me and what we are trying to achieve." - Holly, RTR founder

Having spoken to Raise the Roof, who are soon to expand their Vocational Training School in Kenya, they will aim to build and dedicate a classroom in Neil's memory, with our donations, and to empower young people through education and employment. 

I cannot think of a better way to continue Neil's legacy than to educate and empower young people to stand up for what they believe in and to continue to support those less fortunate, as Neil had always done. 

We will use this page to keep you updated on the progress of Neil's classroom in 2017. 

love, Jackie x
