Personal Statement

I’m a working Mum, fortunate enough to have a job I care passionately about that offers the opportunity to make a real grass roots difference in my community.  My contribution is small. It’s the people I work alongside, the volunteers and the people who believe in the power of connection, and who give their time and their hearts so selflessly, who are the everyday heroes in my eyes. They are making a difference and remind me every day that where there is a spark of humanity, there is HOPE.

“In my view, the word HOPE represents so much. It offers an alternative to the sickening realities of social injustice, war, corruption, and the mindless destruction of our planet.

“I have two daughters just ready to fledge the nest as adults and I carry anxiety and guilt for the world they have all their dreams pinned on. They share the sense of purpose, responsibility, and urgency that the time is NOW to demand real change – not just another predictable changing of the guard. The time is NOW to prioritise the climate emergency, humanity, and rebuilding community. That’s why I’m the Green Party candidate for Goole and Pocklington in the General Election.”
