We’re heartbroken to share that our friend and colleague, and Head of Hub Cymru Africa, Claire O’Shea died peacefully this morning surrounded by her family.

A passionate civil society leader and campaigner for social justice, Claire’s impact has been profound. She dedicated her life to making the world a better place in education and health, loneliness, inclusion and global justice.

Since joining Hub Cymru Africa in 2019, Claire became a leader in global solidarity and international development. An articulate advocate for the importance of helping those in need, regardless of borders, her passion for global solidarity never diminished, even as her own health deteriorated.

Everyone at Hub Cymru Africa, the wider sector and beyond are heartbroken by the loss, but Claire’s legacy in global solidarity will continue to be felt for years to come. We owe it to her to continue her work, advocating for change, demanding justice and creating a more equal world.
