Before politics, she founded the Sutton Carers Centre, building lifelines for families. As a Liberal Democrat councillor since 2014, she led groundbreaking social care reforms — including London’s first council-run children’s homes and tech-enabled care — and fought for care-experienced people, helping secure local protection for them. Colleagues praised her as “made of silk and steel” — fiercely principled yet deeply compassionate. The council flies its flag at half-mast in tribute, and her legacy continues to uplift the community. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
