Feels more important than ever to find ways for everyone to nurture positive change

Such sad news. Simon was a friend, collaborator and fellow traveller on the journey to democratise policymaking. Wise and warm and kind and persuasive. He has been writing poignantly about his illnesses for the last few years. We will miss him hugely.

His former colleagues are collecting tributes, memories, messages and photos for a book of remembrance. If you would like to share any thoughts, please do so here:
