…years not working due to a chronic illness but also I've worked for a number of local charities and was a Stroud District Councillor (2006-2014). I'm passionate about environmental and social justice but also building more welcoming and inclusive communities. I've been involved in a host of local community projects including local allotments, film projects, Festivals and Transition Stroud. I live in Ruscombe with my partner, who has two daughters and three granddaughters. A recent cancer diagnosis has led me to look at how we can improve services locally but also take a more integrative approach - you can see my blog at: https://myunexpectedguide.blogspot.com/
