I’ve been with Two Rivers Housing for eight years, and I remain as passionate as ever about supporting people, particularly those facing homelessness. I truly believe everyone deserves to be treated equally and to have a safe, decent place to call home.
My passion comes from personal experience. In the past, I lived in a council property with no heating or double glazing, relying on coal fires. The house was damp, black with mould and had an awful smell. My children had to live with their grandmother because the conditions weren’t suitable. When we raised concerns, we were told the damp was caused by a kettle. Eventually, we became homeless because we simply couldn’t continue living there.
Because of that experience, there is no one I won’t listen to or try to help. Everyone has the right to a home and to be heard. I believe one of the strengths of Two Rivers is that we are small enough to treat people as individuals and genuinely care, which is why I’m still here.
I work across Gloucester, Stroud, Stonehouse, Ledbury and Worcester. Outside of work, I’m kept busy with my five grown-up children and 12 grandchildren, often entertaining them or taking them swimming. I also enjoy horse riding for fun whenever I get the chance.
