3) What’s your ‘real job’? What do you do in the working week?

​​

I work as CEO for West Silvertown Foundation as a Community Developer. WSF is a local charity which manages Britannia Village Hall. 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 Chair of trustees for Britannia Education Trust, who run the primary schools in Britannia Village and Royal Wharf, and a trustee of Ascension Community Trust, a local charity which lots of people in our church are involved with.

4) What’s the best thing about life in the Royal Docks?

​​

2 things:
Walking around Britannia Village and seeing people you know (it reminds me of the actual village life I grew up with!)

Spending time around the dock. So much of the time in London you can't see very far - but the dock is a beautiful open space, perfect for walking and running around.
