Never give in.

When David's parents came to the UK, their sense of duty and fairness was not matched by the reception they received. Their determination and hopes for a better future were blocked.
But they never gave in. They kept their sense of family values, even when their son was suffering from the entrenched bias and bigotry in society, systems and institutions that saw only his colour.

But he never gave in either. He went on a journey, finding in the Army achievement, success and recognition. That journey continued across the globe until it settled in the South-West.

David never gave in, he kept on making things better - in schools, with challenged young people, and then in the NHS, with diverse staff and patients. This is his story.
