September Newsletter

Dear Friends,
 
It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of two dear friends that have contributed to FEEL over the years, wishing to send our condolence to all their friends and family members.
 
Kevin Zdaniecki (1952-2018) (Cons. Drs.C Psychologist AFBPS Chartered Member BPS DCP) led a talk for a FEEL event at Kingsley Hall in Nov 2014 and supported FEEL work ever since. Kevin's funeral will take place on Tue 11th September 2018 at 9:30 am at the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium, Aldersbrook Rd, Manor Park, London E12 5DQ.
 
The brilliant Jazzman John Clarke (1948-2018) was one of FEEL favorite MC at several Poetry events we shared some real memorable times with. A legendary figure in many poetry circuits around London, Jazzman is being remembered and celebrated widely at some of the spots where he was seen performing regularly.
