Introducing The David Gaiman Award for Outstanding Contribution in the Community

Our much-loved Greenfields Trustee David Gaiman, passed away on Saturday 7th March, 2009. He was one of the most noted humanitarians in the community, as well as a fantastic leader and advisor for staff and pupils from Greenfields School where he had been a trustee since its formation in the 1980’s.

Hundreds of messages of condolence came in from all over the world at David’s memorial service, lauding Mr. Gaiman for his achievements and contributions to friend and colleague alike and for the real help he gave many people who knew him – almost one for one.

David will be most remembered at Greenfields for his incredible sense of humour and the feeling of well-being he gave to everyone with whom he came in contact, as well as for his invaluable and perpetual support of the school and its projects. His work for the Trust was tireless. The school undertook massive expansion during his time as a Trustee and he oversaw everything, bringing calm and good order wherever he went.

A new award, titled The David Gaiman Award for Outstanding Contribution in the Community, is being given each year at Greenfields Graduation on his behalf and in his memory.
