I’ve been a campaigner all my adult life: writing for community newspapers, campaigning on housing, and serving as a school governor for 30 years. I’ve also spent over two decades on Health Authority boards and as a trustee of local charities. After working as a social worker, I became a full-time dad before serving 12 years as Leader of Southwark Council. I later worked in PR, and in 2008 I was ordained, completing my curacy here in Greenwich.
