Happy Birthday Luigi!

It was 1970 when Luigi first came to Mind in Croydon. Over the past 55 years, Luigi has played a vital part in the day-to-day running of the service, offering his time and energy generously. He has volunteered with the service, achieving his Food & Hygiene certification as well as giving insights to the governance and strategic development of the charity as a Trustee.

Through his involvement with the Fairfield Club, latterly the Social Networking Service Luigi has become a living archive of the charity’s history, and his memory of Mind in Croydon remains unmatched.

Luigi, you are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for your decades of service and your unwavering spirit.
