A tribute to Mike Thorpe

Salix Homes has paid tribute to Mike Thorpe, the Chief Officer of The Broughton Trust, who sadly passed away recently.

Mike played a pivotal role in supporting Salford’s most disadvantaged communities and has made a lasting impact across the city.

The Broughton Trust is a Salford-based charity aimed at reducing poverty and improving opportunities for people in Salford. Under Mike’s leadership, the charity has provided vital services including employment support, youth work and community development projects, supporting over 1,000 people every year.

Sue Sutton, Chief Executive at Salix Homes, said: “We are all deeply saddened by Mike’s death. A true champion of Salford, Mike’s compassion, dedication, and tireless work in the community have left a lasting impact on our city.

“As a leader at The Broughton Trust and a valued partner to us at Salix Homes, Mike’s passion for supporting the people of Salford was evident in everything he did, and his legacy will continue to inspire us all.

“Our thoughts are with Mike’s family, friends and colleagues during this very sad time.”
