Flagship Housing raise huge amount in memory of beloved coworker

30 January 2020

Flagship Housing have raised an incredible £10,000 for the hospice in memory of their colleague Mel Mayhew.

They raised the funds throughout 2019, hosting a Hawaiian-themed party, leg waxing and an 80’s disco as well as taking part in various events ran by the hospice including 2019’s Midnight Walk.

Mel’s son Tom, 29, said: “My dad was a really happy-go-lucky guy, he’d always do his best for other people rather than for himself.

“He helped run the local rugby team, football team, cricket team, the youth club – he was very much about doing his best for everybody else.

“Some of the best memories I have with my dad are going to Portman Road, we were season ticket holders when I was younger.

“I had a really good relationship with him, and it’s something I’ll always remember.”
