We pay tribute to Jeff Adamson, Chair of LCiL
We are deeply saddened to announce the death of our dedicated and much-loved Chair, Jeff Adamson, on 14 January 2025.
Jeff was LCiL Chair for more than 15 years, a service user of our organisation and an active member of the Independent Living Movement in his local community and across Scotland. His knowledge, warmth and well-known sense of humour are already greatly missed.
Through his own experience and strong belief in the Social Model of Disability, Jeff tirelessly and quietly reached out to so many disabled people, and others, to defend their right to an independent and dignified life in the communities of their choice.
LCiL, its Board, other volunteers, staff and service users have lost a very close and dear friend who amidst the many disappointments, setbacks and difficulties encountered by people and our Disabled People’s Organisation, always found a way to make us smile or laugh at the absurdity of a situation.
We send our deepest condolences to Jeff’s wife, Elizabeth and family. We thank Jeff for his work, commitment and support, and for being who he was – a wonderful person.
