My brother, David Gardiner, who has died aged 90, was a teacher respected by pupils and colleagues alike throughout a long career at the Leys school, Cambridge, and was honoured for his work in social housing in and around the city.
The son of Marie and Henry Gardiner, David was born in Harrow, north-west London, and grew up in Bournemouth, where our father was the manager of a branch of the Hope Brothers clothing retail chain. David went to Bournemouth school and then, on a bursary, to study natural sciences at Magdalene College, Cambridge.

Last week, the city council’s Housing Security Committee announced a Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy, which will be in place until 2026. In November 2019, the government recorded 33 people sleeping rough in Cambridge, a 20% increase on the previous year, and research by the BBC indicates the real figure could be up to five times higher.
The council will be creating a fund of c.£750,000 for 2020/21, which will be given to ‘partner organisations working on homelessness projects in Cambridge’ as grants. It will also try to reduce the number of ‘people being evicted by family and friends, through earlier interventions’ and will explore ‘further tenancy rescue solutions for private tenants, including the potential for targeted grants and loans.’
