What A great Guy!!
Dear sirI want to talk about a guy who I think is wonderfull...I ave lived in Isleworth 20+years and seen alot off good people come and go but this guy is well one in a million.His Name "Simon Anderson"Let me tell you about this guy, He moved up here from Plymouth in 1997 and in 1998 he got involved in the local residents group on Ivybridge where I have many friends.He has done so much for the estate including helping get a new park built next to the community centre on the Estate,a doggy park,a new fence by the school,new signs on the estate and he helped get a new crossing for the school on Ivybridge not to mention the hundreds off other jobs he has helped residents with.In 2003 he managed to get a office opened on the Estate for residents to talk about there problems which he sat in every day up till he left the residents group last year and was asked to join another group called "Ivybridge Tenants Action Group" where he is now chair off.He has many battles with Hounslow Homes to work with Ivytag but they refuse to which i feel is wrong.This year he has campaigned hard to get a dog free zone in a park on Ivybridge appearing on BBC1 news and in Local papers which he is still fighting to happen, he also is trying to get Hounslow Homes to place new equipment in the park on Ivybridge for the local youth.e is also a main supporter of the legal action against Thames and attds regular meetings at Thames and Police forum meetings and has become well loved with local residents and Ward Cllrs for his hard campaigning.In November his 10yr old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia and in February he shaved his hair off for his daughter and with help from readers on Brentford and Chiswick forums and everyone who read his article in the local papers he raised over a thousand pound for his daughter to give to Great Ormand St Hospital.After that he started to raise more money by signing up to Jump out off a plane with again the support off the readers off both forums above,local residents and Ward Cllrs he has raised over £1500 for GOSH and will shortly be doing his jump and already has started his next project to raise more money for GOSH, he has even in the last few months threw his group Ivytag got people to donate TV's,play-stations,games,books and toys to Starlight Children's Ward at west Middlesex.with all thats going on in his personal life he still takes time to think and help others.A few months ago he spent a day in Kensington Gardens as a volunteer at Gosh fundraiser "Peter pan picnic"I read a few months ago about a ex resident on Ivybridge who was awarded a MBE for her services to the community but a lot off locals I know have never heard off her but Simon Anderson they have.I think it is time they award this guy with a MBE as he has done far more in his community then anyone I know...He is a credit to the community and all i can say is on behalf off myself and the residents I Know "Thank you"Jason StanleyIsleworth resident
