Andy Naylor has just departed to become Head of Programmes at South London Cares. He has been a wonderful Social Clubs Programme Coordinator with us for over 4 years. No one knows the bus routes, local community centres or the inside of the local Camden Sainsbury's as well as our Andy.
He has also connected with and created connections between a huge number of older and younger neighbours across Camden and Islington, as well as some amazing community partners and local businesses.
I know that he was a key part in helping people who were isolated during the pandemic, running online clubs, making them laugh and encouraging story sharing and trying something new. He has left behind a stronger and more resilient community. He had a knack for drawing people together and kept his sense of humour in the face of uncertainty.
A huge thanks and wishing him the very best in south London.
