Grainne Morby obituary

My sister, Grainne Morby, who has died aged 63 from cancer, was a remarkable woman with a lifelong commitment to advising and helping people, through her work for the London Lighthouse and Terrence Higgins Trust and for Great Ormond Street hospital, where she worked hard to give patients a voice.

Grainne was also highly influential in the promotion of independent advice. Working for the Community Information Project, she compiled the inaugural Directory of Independent Advice Centres. With Grainne's support, representatives from these centres began meeting regularly, leading to the founding of the Federation of Independent Advice Centres, now AdviceUK.
