I’m a small business owner and have proudly called Dereham home for just over 10 years.

Full statement

My husband and I chose to build our life here, and I care deeply about the future of our town.

Alongside running my local photography business, I also volunteer in Dereham and across Norfolk, supporting children and adults with SEND along with their families. I am part of an APPG (All Party Parliamentary Group) focused on safeguarding in faith communities, shaped by my own lived experience of leaving a high-control religion and being put through “conversion therapy”.

I understand the pressures facing the local people and families who feel overlooked and forgotten. Too many in our community have been left behind and I want to get your voices heard.

I’m standing to be a strong voice championing SEND families, ensuring vulnerable people get the support they deserve, and standing firmly with the working people of Dereham.

I will make sure Dereham residents get their concerns both heard and acted on!
