I am a Policy and Projects Lead at Redbridge Council with 20 years of experience across central and local government, delivering in areas including equalities and inclusion, strategy and policy development, performance, programme and change management and community engagement.  I am currently Programme Manager for the Unicef UK Child Friendly Communities programme in Redbridge, a programme bringing together the Council, health sector, Police and voluntary and community sector.  In parallel I work with community groups in Redbridge on projects around community cohesion, greening, public art, equalities and Covid19 support, working as a bridge between the Council and vulnerable communities to share information during the pandemic and beyond.
