Alan Laverock – an appreciation

We mourn the untimely passing of Alan Laverock, MMF Trustee, Treasurer, Co-Convenor and friend.

Alan volunteered his time and skills to be the MMF Treasurer in 2020. We were delighted to have this new Trustee with his accounting expertise and his deep knowledge of Malawi.

Since then, Alan has been a key member of our governance team. He kept our books straight (so essential) and provided essential advice and guidance on matters of accounting and management. He was generous, too, in the sharing of his knowledge and understanding of Malawi. His regular visits to and long stays in Malawi were greatly to our advantage. He represented us superbly well and gave moral and practical support to Mercy Sibande, our Country Director. Mercy said of him

“It is a great loss indeed. Alan will be missed greatly, his works were to improve the livehoods of many in Malawi. May his soul rest in peace. Will miss his support for the schools visit.”

The Scotland Malawi Partnership have written a full tribute to Alan. We cannot do better by him than to direct our readers to it – here.
