This page is created in Diane's memory by Scamps in Teddington where she was much loved.

Born June 11 1937, she passed away peacefully on 1st February 2019. 

Diane was one of the founders of Scamps at Stanley School in 1990. 
In 1991 Diane and Scamps moved into the then Teddington Youth Centre, which is still the current site.

She was a very talented artist who shared this love with the children for many years creating wonderful creative opportunities in our art room.   Diane was a great character: straight talking, funny, but mostly a very caring person who was a great friend to many staff, parents and children over the years.  She cared so much about the children that she carried on working at Scamps until 2014 (well after her retirement) and was regularly to be seen cycling around collecting anything she thought the children would find useful and fun.

We pay tribute to her hard work, compassion and friendship.  Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with her family.
