News from Solihull Alumni |
Throughout his life Neil worked tirelessly for a fairer and more just society. He was the founder and former executive director of Citizens UK and worked for more than five decades in the charity sector, holding roles at Save the Children and the Children’s Society.
Neil helped launch the Living Wage campaign in 2001, which resulted in £1bn in higher wages for low-income workers, and campaigned for government to implement a cap on the total cost of credit, curbing the power of pay-day lenders.
He also challenged government policy on asylum and refugee resettlement to welcome those fleeing violence and conflict and open up legal routes for unaccompanied minors.
We send our sincere condolences to Neil’s widow, Jean, his brother Michael (School House 1954 - 1962) and all family and friends.
