As an active community member I have campaigned against such issues as The Bedroom Tax, the racist English Defence League, cuts to the youth service as well as defended much needed services.
Moss Side is one of the most income deprived wards in England and I intend to make sure that the residents of Moss Side have better access to opportunities and benefit from the regeneration and economic development programme which will raise the standard of living and out of deprivation.
As a parent I have experienced the pressures and joy of dealing with issues relating to my children’s education and having supported concerned parents at Claremont Primary school, who were championing a bid to raise the attainment levels of their children’s education, I will continue to help all parents that are concerned with their children’s’ education. I have also served as a Parent Governor.
All of you will be aware that there was a threat of the Caribbean carnival being permanently moved to Platt Fields Park I am pleased to announce that I was significantly involved in the successful campaign ensuring that the Caribbean Carnival returns to Moss Side in 2015.
I believe passionately in Peace, Justice and Equality.

I am 4I year’s old living in Wythenshawe with my husband and children
and have done so for the past decade.
I am a Community Advocate and an activist assisting members of my
community with Housing, council and employment issues, I am also a
communicator and a good listener.
I understand the local problems and issues affecting constituents like
myself. We need more job creation giving a Living wage, we need more
invested in local businesses that serves the interest of the residents
and not of large corporations that don’t re-invest in our community.
We want areas where our youth can be safe, learn, be creative in order
to alleviate boredom. I want to campaign against fracking, the
destruction of the NHS, Bedroom Tax which has seen many in my
community lose homes, incur debts the destruction of our Welfare
system and the rise in Food Banks brought about by government induced
austerity.
