Donations in memorial of former AVOW chairman to be used for the benefit of the community
Memorial donations for the former chairman of the Association of Voluntary Organisations in Wrexham (AVOW) will go towards a fitting memorial in our community.
In June it was announced that chairman and community champion John Leece-Jones had sadly passed away whilst volunteering on behalf of AVOW.
He had been a trustee of AVOW since March 2011, during which time he has been Company Secretary, Chair of most committees, and AVOW Executive Chairman.
He has been described as a tremendous asset to AVOW, and he will be sadly missed by all the staff, trustees, and many organisations he supported, who knew him in various roles.
