As a graduate of Ruskin College, I have been working in community development in the South East for the past 20 years. My focus has been centred around supporting and developing the charity and voluntary sector in rural and coastal communities through funding, networking and planning.  

I live and work in Rother and, as CEO of Rother Voluntary Action, I am committed to the priorities of the area and championing the work done by the hundreds of hard-working and wide-ranging groups and volunteers across Rother. Keenly aware of the value of community, I am joining the Town Board with a desire to listen to, and be the voice of, the voluntary and charity groups.  

I believe that this is a great opportunity for everyone in Bexhill and the wider community to shape the look of the town and the opportunities and services on offer to our local residents.
