Fundraise in memory of Colin Forbes
Colin's soul was a kind one. He was a wise and deeply thoughtful man, someone you could always go to for advice. He would lend a patient ear to loved ones, and he could always be trusted in his fair-mindedness and ability to make sense of things. Colin will be sorely missed by all who knew him. He believed that life could only be measured by the weight of the things you experience, and if that's the case then his would surely be among the largest of them all. His passing is a tragedy and an immense loss. This tribute fund has been created in his honour, with all money to SAMH going towards supporting and helping people in Scotland suffering from mental illness.
