Neil Jelley

Neil grew up and lived in Pimlico. As a young man, he attended Caxton Youth Club, and in 1980 he joined the staff team as a Youth Support Worker, mentoring young people with disabilities to achieve their full potential, drawing on his own lived experience of disability.

Neil was an avid Photographer, and a member of the Pimlico Photographic Society, regularly to be found out and about in the local community, and always with his camera around his neck, observing and documenting local community events, his photographs had been featured in the Westminster Chronicle, in Westminster Council publications, and the RNLI.

Neil was only 54 years old when he passed away. He discovered photography later in his life, Neil was determined to inspire others to learn new skills and realise their ambitions, sharing his learning on his social media platforms, including Twitch. He was a greatly respected member of the Pimlico Community, and he is missed.
