I am a resident of Somerford Grove Estate since 2016. I love living here and getting to know my neighbours. I am passionate about community building and environmental change and would love to see this happen here.
Before starting Somerford Grows, I helped to launch the Shacklewell Covid Mutual Aid Group, which connects neighbours with neighbours in our ward when help is needed during the pandemic. Through that, I met more of my neighbours and began to learn about the problems faced by our community and the potential for us to work together for positive change.
I am managing this gardening project voluntarily, working as a team with other residents and neighbours. I am a barrister by background and I am currently training in social and environmental leadership.
