Full statement

She now work for a national charity that empowers young people to use their voice to influence decisions that affect them.

Cat has always been very passionate about children and young people having the best start in life. She believes that looking after our environment is connected to the well-being of all people but especially the younger generation.

Cat is very active in Medway trying to support initiatives to protect our green spaces, improve air quality and generally look after nature. She live in Rochester with her husband and little boy, who just started school in September.

Cat is very keen to see a different approach to politics, where politicians meaningfully engage and collaborate with those they represent and work together with other politicians from across the political spectrum to do what is in the best interests of the communities they serve. She has a post-grad diploma in Environment & Sustainability. She is a committee member for Friends of The Vines and helped organise 'The Cherry Picnic' events. She co-founded Rochester Eco Hub and Medway Environment Action Network as well as volunteering for Climate Emergency UK. Cat is a valued member of Medway Greens and has been part of the coordinator's team driving us forward for the past 3 years. Change is on the horizon.
