We are deeply saddened by the death of Will Cousins, and of all those who were tragically on board the flight which crashed in Australia.

Will was 25 years old and made an amazing contribution to the pro-European Movement, through his tireless work at our partners - Open Britain.

It was great for us to have the opportunity to work alongside him and we will miss him.

Will impressed us all as an incredibly skilled and dynamic colleague, who powered effective communications to avoid a destructive Brexit.

He was someone who inspired and with whom it was a pleasure to work – we are devastated that he will not be a part of our Movement, which he put so much into, as we start 2018.
