Before moving to Scotland, I first got involved in social action via being part of the Volunteer Police Cadets back in Lancashire. Whilst there, I volunteered my time to support young people in my community as well as adults with severe learning disabilities.

I am very passionate about the rights of children and young people, particularly in regards to access to adequate mental health services provisions. I have recently campaigned and promoted petitions in order to lobby for better mental health provision for young people across Scotland.
