Story

John has been passionate about working with young people throughout his entire life. He has worked as a Sunday school leader, a youth worker, a Jobcentre manager and a Scout leader, all to help and give something back to young people everywhere.    

He has five children and nine nieces and nephews and enjoyed all the time he spent with them especially when they were young and his childish side could come out. 

It is fitting that John later supported The Change Foundation, a charity that came about from the Brixton riots to provide young people with activities and purpose. As we remember John, we remember the work he's done for young people everywhere and help support this charity he loved.
