Today we said Goodbye to a much loved member of FoDAC Team, Paul Cosgrave.

We met a lot of amazing people on the ‘saving DAC’ journey, and Cossie was without doubt one of the best. He was the voice of reason and common sense throughout, and always believed the FoDAC team would prevail. His contribution in supporting the DAC community to get us where we are today cannot be underestimated, he really was one in a million. His impact at Downe, in Scouting and beyond will be missed by all.

Let’s all try and ‘be more Cossie’ this has to be the best way to pay it forward and honour his legacy
