REMEMBERING MALCOLM BALL ON THE GROUND – Diarmuid Breatnach

Created by Tony 3 years ago

For a period in my life I was a co-worker in youthwork with Malcolm, a part-time worker managed by him later, a fellow trade union and community activist and personal friend. 

YOUTHWORK
The period in which I first came to know Malcolm was one of very big changes in my personal and working life, which would lead to some significant political changes for me too.  In the work area I was leaving my background as a factory manual worker due to unemployment and, from voluntary community work to fill in the time, moving into part-time youthwork in the New Cross Detached Youthwork Project with the Inner London Education Authority as my employer.
