It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of AFFORD’s former Board Member Efua Taylor. Efua Taylor left us on the 15th December 2018 at the age of 80 years old. Efua Taylor was an active and integral part of AFFORD’s board for 11 years from 2003 to 2014, mainly serving as Secretary. A caring and committed figure, she devoted a large part of her life to charitable and volunteering activities, including being on the board of Voluntary Action Camden for 20 years, and the board of Age Concern Camden between 2002-2005. Never slowing down, she enrolled in an alternative therapy degree course at Middlesex University in her 70s, showing great passion for the subject and enjoying re-entering student life. We remember her as a source of great knowledge about Pan-African history, and she saw her contribution to AFFORD through this prism of delivering effective grassroots Pan Africanism. Efua contributed immensely to the development and governance of AFFORD, especially between 2008/12, during a period of transition for the organisation. We offer our deep condolences to her children and other family members.
