Tribute to Tom McMullen

It’ll be a sad day for Salford next Wednesday, November 15 as we say farewell to community champion – Tom McMullen.

Tom was a leading light in the Ordsall community, and will be sadly missed by all that knew him, including everyone at Salix Homes.

Tom was dedicated to his community and spearheaded the campaign to open Ordsall Community Allotments on Tatton Street.

Tom and his fellow campaigners raised thousands of pounds to launch the allotment site and his legacy will live on through this fantastic and well-used facility.

In 2014, Tom was honoured in our Salix Stars Awards when we presented him with the Best Green Star Award in recognition of all he achieved in bringing the allotment site to Ordsall.

Tom’s funeral takes place on Wednesday, November 15 and the funeral procession will be leaving the allotments at 1.30pm. The service will be held at Peel Green Cemetery and then back to Ordsall Community Café on Tatton Street where everyone is welcome.

Our thoughts are with all Tom’s family and friends at this sad time.
