Anji was a great support to social work writers (and readers). We owe her a great debt of thanks. RIP

Very sad to hear of the passing of social worker and activist Angi Naylor, who gave so much of herself, her humour, her unforgettable character, her time and energy to standing up for people and supporting others whenever and wherever she could. Rest well Angi xxx

Correction: Frontline trustee Jacob Rosenszweig left BCG in Oct 2024, so I was not correct in suggesting BCG currently sit on the board. BCG does, however, remain as a key partner and supporter of Frontline.
