As a universally recognisable volunteer, Kay Jordan has been a natural. And she has shown just how wide the spectrum of a true volunteer’s remit can be. So well liked has she been among the ordinary folk in the Brick Lane area that her surname has been either forgotten or remained unknown most of ‘her community’.
The word ‘Kay’ has been enough to address and identify who she is and how important her involvement is to those in contact with her.
From real life agony aunt [as different from the hyped up tabloid versions] to everything that people walking the streets in the East One area have been having to grapple with, there is hardly any problem, any woe that Kay has not had a go at solving and resolving in the course of her dedication to help others.
AVNews 2011 launch editon will carry some stunning stories about the Wonder Volunteer Kay !
AADHIKAROnline published the following campaign post [“Demonstrations in East End on day Crossrail hole MPs due to visit”] on the UK Indymedia on 22 May 2006. That was a very brief item. A lot of work was already taking place that week in the East End of London as organised by the Khoodeelaar! campaign against Crossrail.
One KHOODEELAAR! campaign activist, Kay Jordan, spent several hours after her ‘day job’ doing some of the vital campaign work. One item was the neat words NO XRAIL HOLE that appeared on the wall at the junction between the Hanbury Street and Spital Street [near Brick Lane].
The Khoodeelaar! campaign volunteers were as active throughout that week as they have been during any other week for the SEVEN years since the campaign was established in January 2004. Kay Jordan helped found the campaign. The true nature of Kay Jordan the perfect volunteer has been coming to the fore for the past seven years.
A great deal of Kay Jordan’s involvement as a volunteer has been physically witnessed in the Hanbury Street.

The UK House of Commons select committee on the hybrid Crossrail Bill - dubbed by the East End campaigners as the CrossRail hole Bill - are due to visit the area on Tuesday 23 May 2006. Demonstrators are preparing to draw attention to the unnecessary devastation Crossrail hole Bill will cause to the area unless the Bill is scrapped in its present form
