It is with heavy hearts that we remember Joseph Gawthrop.

It was Joe's presence, which can only be described as powerful. It was how he made others feel, an incredible ability to hold space for everyone in the room and make each person feel uniquely special. His infectious, loving, twinkling, and sparkling energy engulfed everyone around him.

But we can’t not acknowledge the sadness that Joe has been taken from us way too soon - he deserved the world and more.

Joe’s life was tragically cut short on 24 December 2024 due to NORSE (New-Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus), a form of epilepsy, a rare and devastating neurological condition that can strike without warning.

On this page, you’ll find links to activities and causes that are taking place as we honour Joe's memory, and navigate our huge loss together.

We’re raising funds for causes that would be close to his heart - whether advancing scientific research or supporting those in need.
