She believes that the world needs more kindness and compassion and tries hard to demonstrate both. She’s also served as President of the Chartered Institute of Housing–the professional body for those working in the Housing. As part ofher Presidency, she worked with the mental health charity Mind to help raise awareness of good mental health practice in the housing sector and raised about £80k along the way. She’s campaigned for years (even when it wasn’t fashionable) to build more properly affordable social housing so people can live good lives because she believes (to misquote TS Eliot) that ‘home is where we start from’. She’s really angry that we have a housing crisis–it’s completely avoidable and needs proper political commitment to sort.
