We’re heartbroken to announce that our valued and talented colleague and warm and generous friend Emma Goad has died suddenly. She’s missed by the whole NAFS team and is a big loss to us and the sector.

Emma is survived by her husband Will and two sons.

If you want to help support a cause she cared for there is a Just Giving page here, raising funds for the British Heart Foundation. In Emma’s honour we have named the Emcees award for outstanding NAFS alumni as the Emma Goad Award.
