Previously living in London, I have lived in Henley since 2021 with my 6 nephews and nieces, brother, sister-in-law and a Ukrainian refugee. I am inspired by Henley residents’ generous response of to open their homes and hearts to Ukrainians. I’ve helped to set up welcome events and activities for Ukrainians. I organised a wider Henley Ukraine info-share and a candlelit service at St Mary’s church to mark the war’s one year anniversary.
I have worked in the international charity sector for over 13 years and am now a home-based worker for a UK environmental charity.
This means I’m able to give a lot of time to community initiatives. I volunteer and love being the events coordinator for Greener Henley. I have organised Great Big Green week and the Green Screen Initiative at the Regal Picturehouse. and am a member of Henley’s Climate Emergency Working Group.
My aims as a counsellor are:
- to represent Henley residents in protecting and restoring our green and blue spaces
- to ensure our internationally recognised events are as sustainable as possible
- to set up more opportunities for residents and businesses to work together for our common good
- to showcase Henley as a place of welcome for all
