Mal was an absolute one off. His desk was the place to be for anyone who needed some unwavering support, common sense, a moral compass, a good laugh and honest advice - always with a cup of tea and a packet of crisps. He cared so much for so many and genuinely changed lives. I feel lucky to have worked alongside him and I cant imagine what Lewisham (especially People’s Day) will be like without him. Rest in power Mal. You are much missed. X
