Tributes have been paid to two former tenant board members in Glasgow after they sadly passed away last month.
Kate Willis and Robert McCormick were previously on the board of Glasgow Housing Association (GHA), which is now Wheatley Homes Glasgow - part of the Wheatley Group.
Kate was a passionate ambassador for her community in Castlemilk where she lived for more than six decades.
The 72-year-old served on the GHA board from 2009 until 2018 and was also on the Wheatley Group board from 2014 to 2018.
Meanwhile, Robert was a member of the GHA board from 2009 to 2014.
The 79-year-old was a 'strong supporter of community engagement and local decision-making'.
In a heartbreaking tribute to the pair, Bernadette Hewitt, former chair of GHA and Wheatley Homes Glasgow, said: “Everyone at Wheatley Group is sad to hear of the passing of Kate and Robert.
“They were both passionate about their communities and ensuring tenants were at the heart of decision-making. They will be sadly missed.”
Maureen Dowden, Chair of Wheatley Homes Glasgow, added: “Kate and Robert were true ambassadors for tenants and took great pride in being part of local committees and boards which helped transform communities and change the lives of tenants for the better.
“Our thoughts are with their family and friends.”
