Dearest Lucky,  When i first met you at a roadshow in 2016, little did i know we would quickly become great colleagues that would tackle training staff together at the hospital every month.   Over the years you have played a huge part in supporting Doctors, Nurses and Therapists etc in gaining an understanding into how to protect our most vulnerable women. As a result you have saved countless victims over the years that have attended the hospital and recieved support as a direct result of your words.  I continue to hear staff talk very fondly of you and look back on how we giggled that staff would stop you in the corridor for a chat even when visiting loved ones.  We will always be indebted to you for the support you gave us over the years and I will very much miss my training buddy moving forward. There will always be a special spot in that room as we continue to train our staff on the subject you were so passionate about. I hope you continue to look down on us and keep us in check.    We will all miss you very much and our thoughts go out …

IN MEMORY OF YOUR MEMORY   My memories of Lucky was that she was a fun loving and caring, she carried a big heart and smile What I loved more personaly was her slight cheekiness to get you to do things which I found enduring and, this would make me  smile. I appreciate the opportunity I had to get to know her. R.I.P’  Lucky.  …

I was so very sad to learn about Lucky and her lost battle with COVID – I have no doubt she did her very best to beat it so she could stay with her family, friends and colleagues and keep on supporting the many people who found their way to her; either through the door at LAWC or from within the community. The first time I met her at LAWC I thought she was no more than a teenager, always smiling, always cracking jokes, very nervous about delivering training for the Luton Domestic Abuse Partnership but always up for a lively discussion about those who needed her support and just why they deserved and needed it so badly. By the time I realised she was in fact a proper grown up lady with fully grown children she was already bossing me about and telling me what to do (and where to stand to do it) at a LAWC Open Day during the 16 Days of Action to End Gender Violence Campaign. I don’t know whether she liked Kylie’s music but I could not say her name without singing “I should be so Lucky, Lucky, Lucky Begum” I sing it …
