LIB DEMS CHOOSE LOCAL CARER and TEACHER The Scottish Liberal Democrats candidate for Perth and Kinross-shire shire at this General Election is Amanda Clark.

Full statement

She lives locally, in Kinross, with her family and enjoys playing an active part in the local community. After teaching for thirty years, Amanda has taken early retirement to become a full-time Carer for her son who has complex disabilities. She balances her caring role with volunteering for a local anti-poverty charity. This has given her a greater understanding of the challenges faced by many families in Perth and Kinross-shire in the current cost of living crisis. She also regularly completes Mighty Hikes to fund-raise for the Macmillan Cancer Charity. Amanda’s husband runs a small, manufacturing company that exports internationally. This means she has first-hand knowledge of the challenges faced by businesses in this post- Brexit era. Her wealth of experience in teaching, charity work and fighting for her son’s needs means that, if elected as MP, Amanda will be a strong champion for Carers and Families.
