Our dad had a fierce hunger for justice and always cared for those in need. His bank statement was a long list of regular payments to a host of charitable organisations, local, national and global.  He was a prison visitor and brought people in need into his own home to feed them, talk to them, sometimes give them work - give them courage and dignity. As a member of Amnesty International, he regularly wrote powerful letters in support of victims of torture or oppression. So, instead of flowers, if you would like to make a donation to Amnesty, then please do so on the day or if you are not able to make it, you can donate right here on this page.
