Jim Bodle

We are sad to learn that Independent Arts' trustee Jim Bodle died recently. Jim had volunteered his time as a trustee and director of the charity since 2011 and was a much-valued, knowledgeable member of our team – a "wise owl" as one fellow-trustee described him. His funeral is at the crematorium at 1.30pm on Friday 28th December, and his family say that anyone who knew Jim is welcome to attend. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
