Campaign Story
Nobody wants to say goodbye or lose a close family member and as we all know funeral costs, these days, can be a huge burden on most families.
I have created this fundraising campaign in support of my colleague Kristy and her brother Scott, who after recently welcoming the birth to two beautiful twins, now have to deal with the grief of losing their father Ray Young.
Ray Young, a much loved father, grandfather, husband and son, tragically passed away on Friday 16th June 2017. Ray was a family man with a huge heart and will be greatly missed by all of those around him.
I am sure Kirsty’s family would greatly appreciate any financial contributions to support them in giving Ray the send-off he deserves.
Funeral details are yet to be finalised but we will keep people updated via this page once plans are put in-place.
Any kind of support is greatly appreciated and our thoughts and prayers go out to Kirsty and her family.

I knew Ray from my days at the College, a colleague and a great guy. Always ready to give a helping hand. We had a lot of good times and laughter together. Ray was the College. RIP

Very sad to hear of Ray's passing. He was a great ambassador for the College for so many years, always cheerful and positive - an absolute pleasure to work with for the 15 years I was at the College.
