Charly Richardson, Lewisham Music

I only met Malcolm a couple of times since coming back to Lewisham. But he did so much for Lewisham Music in the short time I worked with him. I could immediately tell he was an extremely kind and principled man dedicated to helping others. Such a shock. RIP Malcolm, you will be greatly missed

Thank you for being such an inspiration and ray of sunshine! You taught me a lot and provided so much guidance to me as a youngster. The lessons you taught me have been crucial to helping me become the person I am today and I am forever grateful. Rest in power! :) xx

I worked with Mal at Lewisham Council for a couple of years. He was clearly so passionate about helping young people. What a fantastic impact to have made on so many lives. I think he was one of the first people I spoke to when I started, and the last when I left. Always so caring and could really cheer you up if you were having a bad day. You will be missed by so many people Mal. X

Malcolm your dedication, compassion and energy you gave so generously to support and give the youth of Lewisham and beyond the opportunities to improve, will be remembered by so many. It was a pleasure to work with someone so passionate and committed about their work, during my years as a councillor. I will remember you fondly for your humour and genuine friendliness, taken from us to soon. RIP Malcolm

I frustrated the hell out of Mal at Lewisham Council and really, really irritated him with countless pig-headed arguments on our train home to Faversham. Yet through it all, Mal was always so kind, generous and understanding. Recently, typical of Mal, he showed me a tremendous kindness. Such a genuine and loving person. God Bless, Mal.

It was a pleasure to work in the same office as Mal. He always made you feel at ease and could brighten your day with a few a words. His dedication to the young people of Lewisham, and beyond, was inspirational. Rest easy mate. x

Alan Sweetlove

I'm very sorry to hear of Mal's passing. As a colleague I much admired his compassion, unswerving commitment to the wellbeing of young people (well all his comrades really), his approachability and penchant for finding a touch of humour when difficulties arose. As as friend he will will remain lovingly remembered.

Helen Naylor

Remembering our many years of being Lewisham Youth Service colleagues and that learning & unity for ever. Rest in peace Malcolm. Helen Naylor

Such sad news. Malcolm was a lovely, kind, funny man who will leave a big gap in many people’s lives but also positive, lasting memories.

A Lewisham youth work colleague many years ago and always took time to say hello. Rest in peace Malcolm

Simone Riddle

The work I did with Mal while I worked with Healthwatch left such an impression on me, teaching me what what working with others should be like. His kind, gentle approach, always open and willing to collaborate, and letting young people lead. A big loss for Lewisham.

Kirsty

This was just the saddest news to receive. I worked at Lewisham with Mal for a few years and he was such a kind, dedicated and funny colleague. He didn't really know me but he always made time for me. He was so clearly passionate about his work and popular with other staff and the young people he worked with. A very good egg. Thanks for the snacks and the stories. Rest in power x

Luke Sorba

Malcolm was a wonderful advocate for young people and the most authentic unpretentious man you could wish to meet. I will miss his company but the legacy of his work will live on.

A great bloke. A real loss.
