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)
I’m so sorry to hear this Windrush Lives. Anthony was a prominent force behind exposing the scandal and a tremendous support to those affected — something he and so many others should never have experienced. pics: pb The Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey marking the Windrush 70th Anniversary 22nd June 2018.
@WindrushLives 💔a giant - so despicable that his efforts were ever necessary ❤️
