Valerie has recently sadly passed away. At BUCFP we'd like to pay tribute to her well over 20 years of volunteering commitment to the centre, and say a few words from those who knew her best.
Valerie was a much-valued and dedicated welfare rights advisor for many years at our centre and will be sadly missed. I clearly remember her chairing the weekly meetings with great humour as well as her boundless energy and compassion. I also knew Valerie from her leading role in the Defend NHS campaign group, one amongst many of her worthwhile causes, and am certain that she touched the lives of many, all of whom will remember her with great affection.
- Richard. BUCFP welfare rights.
Valerie was deeply kind and caring. She was a helpful and courageous supporter of others. She worked tirelessly supporting many causes including the peace movement and defending the rights of minorities and had a keen interest in the history of these campaigns. She truly put people at ease, was a great listener. Her quiet supportive words helped many and she will be greatly missed.
- Ben. Previously BUCFP welfare rights.
She was passionate about helping others. her never ending energy and ability to put people at ease. Having the pleasure working with her she definitely left her mark in my life as well as those lucky enough to know her.
