Jean always worked hard for her fellow residents. She was part of the group that helped set up our award winning governance structure. She was later elected to Hastings Area Panel. At the Four Courts refurbishment consultative group she continually challenged our architects and other professionals to find better materials and construction methods to make life easier for residents. At the Diversity Group she always made well researched contributions to help us tailor services to people’s needs. Those living at the Four Courts in St Leonards remember her conversation at the bus stop, at Horizons and the Four Courts’ cafe. Residents warmly spoke of her “fondness for an underdog”… and being “a highly principled lady with huge integrity”. Many residents recalled her rousing speech against bus service cuts as just one of her regular contributions to resident involvement events. Jean, with her constructive mind and articulate approach, rapidly established herself as a well respected and influential force, not only for our benefit but others too. For that, and in recognition of her campaigning for national and international causes, we’re proud to have known her and are truly grateful for all she did.  - [email protected]   - www.amicushorizon.org.uk 11
