It is with great regret that we announce the death of Viscount Gough, our longest serving trustee. Shane has been a steadfast supporter for Hope for Youth (NI) for several decades . Although he lived in Scotland, Irish ancestry and an affinity for all matters Irish were very much part of his makeup. Born in 1941, his education at Winchester was followed by Sandhurst and a commission in the Irish Guards.. Six years later he went into Stockbroking and the running of his Scottish Estate. He was a generous and well-liked man with an infectious smile and an idiosyncratic sense of humour. He died peacefully in Scotland on 14 April 2023 aged 81. He will be much missed.
