<p>I have worked in the voluntary community sector for over 12 years starting as a volunteer and through hard work, determination and passion successfully became the Centre Manager of SENSE (which supports people with physical and learning disabilities to lead full and active lives). I'm an active member of the community, an advocate for disability and women and spend my free time volunteering for a wide variety of community led projects.</p> <p>I am very passionate about promoting diversity and inclusion and ensuring people have a voice and are heard. I sit on several strategic and advisory panels in the borough and work alongside the Council to support communities positively. I am family orientated and invested in arts, culture and developing more provision in the area.</p>
