Pippa Smith's policies
Statement to voters
I'm standing to represent Westmorland and Lonsdale because I care deeply about Cumbria, our people and our communities.
Full statement
I grew up in South Cumbria and spent my childhood climbing fells and swimming in lakes. I know how special this part of the world is.
But working and volunteering in the community has shown me the impact of the cost of living crisis and the decline of our public services. I know how challenging life can be in a rural community: our health system is at breaking point, our transport network is fragile and opportunities for young people are scarce. I believe we deserve better, and after fourteen years of Conservative government, it's time for change.
I have a track record of leadership in the charity sector, which means I can deliver for this area. I first became a chief executive at 26 and now lead a local grantmaking foundation in South Cumbria. Having managed social innovation programmes across Europe, I also have leadership experience on an international level. In my spare time, I have volunteered with refugees, tutored young people and served as a charity trustee.
I will bring my experience of working in the community together with fresh ideas to fight for the change we need in Westmorland and Lonsdale.
