Colin Campbell worked professionally for many years as a psychotherapist specialising in working with children who had suffered abuse and supporting the staff teams who worked with them.

He worked quietly behind the scenes offering support and sharing his knowledge, mentoring many professionals and was inspirational in enabling them to fulfil their dreams. One organisation that exists, thanks to Colin’s mentoring, is Common Thread.

One of Colin’s own personal dreams was to create a “school” for our children, many of whom have a remarkable intelligence but who found that main stream education failed to meet their needs.

‘Merrick School is dedicated to his memory’
