Assia Shah will be much missed by all who knew her for her warmth, enthusiasm, love of nature and passion for social justice.
She was a committed campaigner for many causes and charities during her life. These included support for a school for orphans in Syria, near the border with Turkey.
Her family and close friends have set up a donation page to aid this project in Assia’s name, with a target of raising £5,000 – for more information or to make a donation, visit the page here.
