"Planning inclusive communications and campaigns for BD Giving is a privilege, and a lot of fun."
What got you interested in working in Barking and Dagenham?
Barking & Dagenham epitomises what I think is wonderful about London; there is so much diversity and opportunity (though not always evenly distributed). That is what made me move to London 15 years ago, and it’s what makes me want to stick around and dedicate my career to the communities of London.
What challenges do you think you might face in this role?
What are your hopes for the borough?
Cool fact, Barking and Dagenham is the youngest borough in London. So, my ambition is for the young people who live and work here to be aware of, engage with and benefit from the funding and opportunities that BD Giving offers.
How do you think the community can help achieve those goals?
We won’t achieve any of our aims without the involvement of the community. It’s as simple as that.
