Ruby Rose Management, Dunn\u2019s agents, issued a statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon was passionate about giving back to the community and volunteering. He gave his time, and utilizing his profile, to help multiple charities. Like all great ambassadors, he had his favorites which included Bobby Goldsmith Foundation, Give Out Day and Pride in Sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon never said \u2018NO\u2019 to donating his time to any organization who wanted to grow its Diversity and Inclusion footprint from Woolworths to Lion \u2013 helping them all to better understand their LGBTQIA+ employees and customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimon represented us all, he always said \u2018I am not the spokesman, I am just a gay white male telling you about my experiences, and experiences from those with whom I listened and learnt. The sharing of these stories gives us all an appreciation of what has led us to where we are today\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
