The 46-year-old mother-of-two's death, which took place on Sunday May 15, is being investigated by Nottinghamshire Police.

McCaffery had been chief executive of TwentyTwenty for the last two years.

The charity runs the Love4Life youth work programme, which offers relationship and sex education to young people in areas of deprivation in Leicestershire.

Love4Life was nominated for the CYP Now awards, in the children and young people’s charity category in 2021 and for the health and wellbeing award in 2015.

The charity says that it has “lost a much-loved, inspirational and dedicated leader”.
