The trustees and volunteers of the Forum were deeply saddened to hear the recent passing of Jackie Evans. Jackie was Forum secretary between 2017-19, and a loyal supporter of the charity. She worked tirelessly to support the wider community in her work, and remained a passionate ally to the organisations and communities of Meadow Street and beyond. Forum Chair Steve shares these words: “For anyone who knew Jackie Evans, they would describe her as a fierce supporter for anything that benefitted the local community and for the organisations and charities she cared passionately about across North Somerset. Jackie often became enthused when she heard about the many community projects taking place across our district, and you would never be short of a hand to support these if Jackie was available. Her work with Lowering the Bar, The Other Place, Race Equality North Somerset and the support provided in founding the North Somerset LGBT+ Forum will serve as Jackie's legacy for us all to continue. Personally I will miss Jackie's "No Nonsense" approach. Rest well…” Steve

Farewell my fellow Warrior of Wellbeing. Your daughters and brother gave you a lovely send off

A great bridge partner and a good friend. I wasn’t expecting you to leave so soon. Missing you.
