My background is in helping young people meet their unmet needs; I was formerly a youth worker and counsellor, developing services such as self-directing user groups – from an eating disorders group, supported accommodation, an alternative education project and a needle exchange. I now work at Millvina house, just behind Homebaked Bakery, a 50+ bed dementia care home with many Anfield residents.
I grew up on Oakfield Rd in the 1960s and I love what the CLT wants to do in reviving the area and bringing it to meet 21st century standards, bringing together young & old in a community setting. Meeting the needs of my local community is very much part of my working agenda as a board member and to do that my drive is to get the community together, to listen and then respond.
