Currently LGBT Delegate for the North West Regional Committee for Unite the Union and Member for the Irwell Riverside Ward of the Salford and Eccles Labour Party Constituency

I was Chair of Out IN Salford from January 2014 to April 2015

I have worked closely with The Liverpool Pride Team both as Committee Head and Trustee from 2012 to 2013, I have been a Liverpool Pride Volunteer since 2010

From May 2012 to March 2015 I was a member of the planning team for Salford's own mini Pride Event the Peel Park Pink Picnic, the family orientated mini pride event is going from strength to strength. Foot fall last year (2014) achieved in excess of 2,100

I have always had a passion to donate time rather than money to make a difference, so for the last 12 years I have worked with Manchester Based Charity the LGBT Foundation, where I primarily work as a volunteer trainer and helpline operator, but also volunteer as a fundraiser for Manchester Pride
