I am a Solicitor currently practising property law. Through my experience in the legal sector, I have become aware how structural inequalities can limit people’s access to justice, opportunity, and dignity. I am drawn to Carr Gomm because of its person-centred approach and its focus on empowering individuals – particularly those facing disadvantage or vulnerability – to live full and meaningful lives on their own terms.
The work of Carr Gomm resonates with my desire to contribute beyond the legal context—addressing the wider social determinants that impact people’s wellbeing and inclusion. I believe my analytical and critical thinking skills, along with my understanding of regulatory frameworks, risk, and governance from the legal sector, could contribute meaningfully to the Board’s oversight and strategic discussions. I’m particularly inspired by Carr Gomm’s values of respect, honesty, interdependence, and compassion, which are at the heart of both effective care and just systems.
I am excited at the prospect of becoming a Trustee with Carr Gomm as it offers a meaningful opportunity to support an organisation that not only delivers essential services but also challenges the status quo in the pursuit of a fairer, more compassionate society.
