Ian touched the lives of many of us on our journey here at Slimming World, and many of us have asked how we can help and support Katie and her family during this very sad and difficult time.

As well as being Katie’s very much loved partner in all things, Ian was a devoted Dad to Megan, Finlay and Flossy, Grandpa to Alfie, and he took Megan’s partner Kailum under his wing as one of his own.

Ian was always busy, whether it was working on his beloved VW, gardening, fixing anything rusty that he came across, helping Katie to run her Slimming world groups or, in his own words, being ‘forever Dad’s taxi service’! Fun loving, generous and one of a kind, Ian will be really missed.

We have set up this GoFundMe page in memory of Ian which we hope will help Katie and her family move forward.
