Barrow A wave of tributes has been pouring in from patients, colleagues and the local community following the passing of Dr Alistair Harrison, a much‑loved doctor at Duke Street Surgery in Barrow. To honour his life and service, residents are rallying together to raise funds and remember his contribution to healthcare and the community.
Friends and supporters have organised a series of commemorative activities, with one of the main calls being for people to wear green during an upcoming community event — a symbolic gesture that reflects the affection and high regard in which Dr Harrison was held. The initiative has been shared widely on social media, with many expressing how much he meant to them as a compassionate physician and friend.
Members of the Barrow Parkrun group were among the first to promote the tribute, inviting participants and residents to take part and show their support for the fundraising efforts. The event aims not only to celebrate Dr Harrison’s life but also to raise money in his memory — with proceeds set to go toward community causes that were close to his heart.
Local patients described Dr Harrison as a “lovely young doctor” and praised his dedication to patient care and the warmth he showed in every consultation. Many took to social media to share personal stories and memories, highlighting the significant impact he had on their lives.
Fundraising activities in his memory are expected to continue in the coming weeks, with local groups planning further events and collections to ensure his legacy lives on through community support and goodwill.
