Mr Crawford joined the board of management in May 2013. He was a project worker, working with unemployed clients and liaising with employers.

A graduate of Strathclyde Business School and a member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development, Cameron worked for many years in the social enterprise third sector.

He was also a coach to his local kids’ rugby team and had a particular interest in his local community and regeneration.

Frank Sweeney, group chief executive, said: “Cammy was a gifted and wonderful person who as a dedicated Board Member was fully committed to the work of Cunninghame Housing Association and making our communities better places. I am sure you will all join me in expressing our deepest condolences to Cammy’s family at this sad time.”
