One of Haydn's greatest passions was for all things mechanical (Hayfix) and he dedicated his working life to such, such a good cause - renewable energy. The sheer engineering elegance of producing life sustaining energy from wind and sunlight is the kind of engineering solution that made him happy.
That is why we asking people to donate to our chosen charity, SolarAid, an international organisation that brings 'lightness into dark' helping to combat poverty and climate change at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising-edit/HaydnScholes
Everyone who knew Haydn will think fondly when we remember him.

The lift home from Brownies with Haydn via Costcutter, where we were allowed to buy a snack (I always had Nice And Spicy NikNaks) were a highlight of my 8year-old week. My heart goes out to the whole family as you mourn the loss of Mr Scholes. With love and prayers, Ele x less

Our daughter Eleanor and Melissa were close friends when at school and Haydn was generous with lifts and lovely meals for them. We will miss meeting him out walking with Helen and out with the grandchildren too. We send you all our sincerest condolences.
