Remembering Patricia Chambers

It is with great sadness that we share the news that our friend and colleague Patricia Chambers died last year.

Patricia was a leading light for the BME survivor movement, involved and active both locally and nationally.

We shared an office with Catch-a-Fiya when NSUN was established and Patricia was newly appointed as the Catch-a-Fiya Manager in 2009.

Patricia led work on the Dancing To Our Own Tunes recommendations to develop the TOOTS charter and was a huge support, advocate and motivator for those who worked with her.

Patricia was involved in many initiatives and organisations and leaves an inspiring legacy. Jayasree Kalathil has written a moving tribute which you can read on the NSUN Facebook page.

Our thoughts are with all who knew and loved Patrica.
