AN URGENT fundraiser appeal has been launched for a Windrush descendant facing council tax debt after her partner died in a care home soon after the start of the pandemic. 

Yvonne Williams, whose mother came to Britain in 1962 with Ms Williams’s siblings, is facing a court hearing on March 29 after racking up council tax debt following the death of her Windrush-generation partner of 16 years.

The 62-year-old, who has multiple health difficulties, is extremely vulnerable to Covid-19 and was self-isolating for her own safety.
