I am truly honoured and grateful to have received the Individual Contribution Mayor’s Award. It means so much to be recognised for work that is so close to my heart.
Supporting children and young people, particularly those facing social and emotional challenges and those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), is something I care deeply about. Every child deserves to feel supported, understood and given the opportunity to reach their full potential, and it is a privilege to be able to play a small part in that journey.
This work is never done alone. I am incredibly thankful to the families, colleagues and members of the community who continue to trust, support and work alongside me every day. Their encouragement and partnership make this work possible.
Receiving this award is both humbling and motivating. It reminds me why this work matters and encourages me to continue supporting and advocating for the children and families who need it most.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way.
A big thank you to the Leader of the Council, , the Chief Executive of the Council, and the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, for presenting me with this award.
