Tributes have been pouring in for a charity champion who helped countless people of all ages throughout West Lothian.
Fauldhouse man Wull Mullen passed away suddenly, leaving wife Nicola and his sons devastated.
He was the facilitator at the Sports and Well-being for all Trust for the last four years and ran football therapy sessions from Fauldhouse Partnership Centre.
The charity paid tribute to Wull on its Facebook page, saying: “Sports and Well-being for all Trust are devastated at the loss of our good friend and colleague Wull Mullen who passed away yesterday.
“After speaking to Nicola and the family we decided to post on the page a tribute to a great man Oor Wull.
“Wull came on board from the very start four years ago when the charity was founded.
“The position Wull wanted was to be the facilitator and to run our Facebook Page and what a magnificent job he did.
“To date, the charity is sitting at 33,000 followers, over 3000 kids registered and over 800 adults registered which is unbelievable and Oor Wull was a massive part of it.
“Wull’s dedication and effort towards the charity was to make sure that all the kids should have fun in sport and to look after people with mental health issues – that is why he wanted to start the therapy football session.
“And, as you can see by the photos, the session got bigger and bigger all because of Oor Wull’s passion for helping people.
“Wull always gave 110 per cent to the charity, even right down to washing the bibs and hanging them up in the house right after his Therapy Football session.
“Wull was the guy who always loved to help people, make them laugh and always made sure they were taken care of no matter what the situation was, and that is why he was a great and wonderful person with a heart of gold.
“Sending our thoughts and prayers to Nicola, the boys and all the family at this sad time.
“You will be sorely missed, but you will never ever be forgotten.”
Tributes have flooded the charity’s Facebook page since, with people sharing their memories of Wull.
Stephen Wilson said: “Wull was indeed a gentleman.”
A fundraiser has been organised to help pay for Wull’s funeral.
