@IDickson258 So sad to hear the news. Ian was one of most genuine people I ever met. Passionate, supportive and always with young people at his heart. He had a huge impact on the support for young people and bringing people together to achieve more.

This is Sue, Ian's wife. I heartbroken to tell you that Ian passed away today with Karen and I at his side. We will love and miss him always.

🌟🎨🖌️Maja has been working with @chloeyasart for the new Future of Ours Festival & said “the sessions give me a chance to work with someone who understands what art is like when it's paired with your mental health.” ✒️🧠🫶⁠ #artprocess #thefutureisours #manchesterfestival
