We are devastated to confirm that Anthony Williams, a founding member of Windrush Lives, has passed away. Anthony was a committed member of this group to the end, and drew on his horrific experience to help others in the same position as him. (1/3) independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
We will say more in due course, but for now, we are running an appeal to help his immediate next of kin with the costs of making final arrangements. The fundraiser page will be updated later today with more details on how the funds will be distributed and used, (2/3)
and what will happen with any excess unspent donations. (*only*) if you are able, we would appreciate your support - Anthony deserved more than this country gave him, and we think this is the least we can do for him. (3/3) gofund.me/844d2383
