Following today’s news that Lord Frank Field has passed away, aged 81, Matthew Cole, head of Fuel Bank Foundation, pays tribute to the long serving MP and campaigner for social justice and equality.
“We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Lord Field. Frank was instrumental in setting the vision for Fuel Bank and its subsequent creation. He clearly articulated what life was like for his constituents, where rationing energy is a daily occurrence, but at the same time was so positive about the changes that could, and should, be made.
