Nigel was such a wonderful, funny and kind man who I worked with for many years - what a tragic loss. He campaigned tirelessly for people affected by dementia and I had all the time for him. I hope his next of kin can be found and he can rest in peace 💙

Cause:
Government & NHS England failure to prioritise patient care in the community

We will never stop fighting for the NHS, and can’t wait to find people on here to help fight with us…
