The Sandra Barr Memorial

The Sandra Barr Memorial funds all our purchases of nebulizers and similar equipment. It was established in 2001 to commemorate the life and work of Sandra Barr, who worked for London Transport for seventeen years until her retirement on ill-health grounds in 1991. She was a TBF member.

Sandra's life was cruelly cut short in February 2001 at the age of 49. Despite her long-standing illness, she devoted most of her time to helping other people and animals. She was a leading activist in her trade union (TSSA) and was elected to its national executive committee. She was very involved politically and campaigned on a wide range of community and animal rights issues.

Following Sandra's untimely death, it was the wish of her husband, John, that this memorial be set up under TBF auspices. Funds for the memorial were raised through donations by her family and friends throughout Britain and Ireland, her neighbours in Watford, former London Transport workmates and trade union colleagues as well as Labour Party activists in the Watford and Greater London areas.

Sandy would have heartily approved and she would have been pleased to think that she could go on helping others.
