Derbyshire Hong Kong Community Interest Company

I was delighted when I first was elected to be appointed to represent Chesterfield Borough Council on the Derbyshire Law Centre Management Committee as my outside body. I became aware of the Law Centres work during my time as a union official. A number of our Members had received help with issues such as rent arrears and evictions. I hoped that my experience and knowledge gained from my time both as a Nurse Manager, and as a union official would be of assistance on the Management Committee. I believe that equalities, fairness and justice are principles that the Law Centre and I have in common. I have also been the Labour Party constituency Women’s Officer for a number of years and have throughout my career tried to help women attain their potential and fight for equality of opportunity and pay .
