I work as CEO for West Silvertown Foundation as a Community Developer. WSF is a local charity which manages Britannia Village Hall, and Royal Wharf Community Dock. I oversee all of our work, from under 5s projects to ESOL classes, and spend a lot of my time talking with developers and stakeholders about how to make the Royal Docks the best possible place for people who live here. I'm also vice-chair of trustees for Britannia Education Trust, who run the primary schools in Britannia Village and Royal Wharf.

2 things:
Walking around Britannia Village and seeing people you know (it reminds me of actual village life!)
Going up on the footbridge on a really hot, stuffy day, putting your arms in the air and feeling the breeze
