I met Ken on a UK Four Nations
YMCA staff conference many years ago.
APS = Association of Professional Secretaries
= All senior staff of autonomous YMCA's.
Snatches of conversation with him amongst the many colleagues led to him applying for a vacancy at Romford YMCA - which was my base for some 18 years.
He was appointed & became our head of Housing.
He came to us with massive experience with his home YMCA in Northern Ireland. From boy to leadership there -and the next step being Romford managing the Hostel & other move-on accommodation = 150 Residents +
He was a great colleague and inspirational amongst our large team.
He later moved to become head of all programmes for us.
Responsible for a whole range of activities
from Orchestra to Fitness programmes and Childcare
+ + + +
Ken eventually moved on to become a National YMCA
Staff Member - working out of the UK but
working with the world of YMCA's -
the largest Youth Organisation in the world.
He will be missed by thousands of YMCA staff & member.
