About Brian Staley

Brian Staley was a Canterbury businessman, Liberal Democrat City Councillor and Gurkha campaigner. Brian became a close friend of the Gurkha community that had settled in Kent and started the Gurkha Justice campaign. He helped enlist Joanna Lumley to the cause and successfully lobbied the government for fairer treatment for Gurkha veterans. Sadly, he died aged 81.  

He wrote a book called ‘My Road from Saigon’ . His family have donated books to the Folkestone Nepalese Community Charity to sell and raise money. 

We are thankful to him and his family for the generosity.
