Your Labour Candidate for St Stephen (County Ward)

For most of my working life I have worked in the Charity sector. I am currently the Deputy Director of Operations at a Mental Health Charity. Our services continue to experience huge demand, with sharp rises in mental health issues in children, young people and adults.

I volunteer with the ‘Worcester Welcomes’ group, supporting all refugees and asylum seekers who arrive in Worcester, including from Ukraine. Many Worcester families offer accommodation or support, proof that Worcester genuinely is a welcoming place.

I am keen that everyone is able to access our parks and leisure centres and lead active and healthy lives. Better pavements and properly surfaced roads and cycle routes would encourage more people to walk and cycle. Improving bus services is essential and one of Labour’s key campaign pledges. These measures would go some way to tackling the traffic congestion and parking issues that blight the area.
