The Anjool Malde Memorial Trust

My friend Anjool died two years ago, two days before his 25th birthday. He achieved a lot by then, and everyone who knew him expected him to go on to even greater things. The Anjool Malde Memorial Trust supports young people who exhibit aspects of his character and talent so they can fulfil their potential. Jools would say I'm crazy to bike 100 miles for the Trust on my first wedding anniversary, but I am sure he would be proud of the people who are benefiting from its work.

In 2011, the Trust named Kiran Hungin, who performs as Mary at Midnight, its Musical Talent of the YearBy complete coincidence, Miss Hungin also works in my office building in London. It’s deeply gratifying to see first-hand how the Trust is making a difference!
