It is with great sadness that we say a final goodbye to a dear friend and Colleague. Ursula Marshall served on our board of Directors, and was involved in many organisations, including Chair of Mid-Mid Ulster Disability Forum and a founding member of Mobility Mid Ulster just to name a few.

Ursula was a dedicated activist, and a tireless advocate for inclusion and equality. Her service and dedication to championing disability has profoundly shaped a better, more accessible future for everyone in NI.

We extend our deepest sympathies to her Family.
