Hello everybody. I have been fortunate enough to have had many opportunities through my life from my education, my careers and my hobbies.  That is partly due to growing up in a loving family with the security and protection that every child deserves. I have chosen to run for the NSPCC because I feel that they are a charity that would truly benefit from my contributions so that all children can have the support and protection that every child should have.

The NSPCC is the leading children's charity fighting to end child abuse in the UK and Channel Islands. We help children who have been abused to rebuild their lives, protect those at risk, and find the best ways of preventing abuse from ever happening.  Every child deserves the best possible chance to rebuild their life after abuse.  That’s why we’re here. That's what drives all our work. And that’s why – as long as there’s abuse – we will fight for every childhood.
