The Rt Hon. The Lord Field of Birkenhead: 1942 – 2024

It is with huge sadness that we heard about Frank’s passing. 

Throughout his impressive career, Frank gave his life to improving the lives of those around him. His unwavering commitment to social justice not only defined his decades of public service, but is also the foundation stone for so many causes and organisations he was involved in.

Frank’s focus on ensuring that all young people have access to the same educational opportunities is at the heart of everything we do.
