Sad Times for Thurcroft Big Local

Sadly  we received the news that Alan Bucknall, chair of Thurcroft Big Local has died having fought bravely against cancer over the past year.

Alan has been a passionate and dedicated supporter of Big Local from the beginning.

Despite his illness he insisted on turning up to show his support and offer encouragement at Big Local activities. 

I have attached a few recent photos of Alan handing over the chair to his vice-chair, and the most recent where he is proudly reading the promotional booklet for the long awaited but soon to be completed new ‘Thurcroft Hub’ at the Thurcroft Big Local Gala this summer, both of which will be a lasting legacy of the time and commitment he gave to Big Local.

Alan, along with his smile, humour and eternal optimism will be sadly missed and I felt it right to acknowledge him and in memory of him share with you all how much he valued what we are all doing and to assure you it is of value and can make a genuine and positive difference.

Good night and God Bless
