I’ve known Faversham for 30 years and lived
here since 2010. I’ve volunteered for 8 years as
a museum and Open House steward and in
other roles at the Fleur de Lis, and as a trustee
since 2016.
As a volunteer I’ve brought ideas and
contributed to our work and the resources we
can offer to residents and visitors. I have taken
part in school visits, in organising meetings
relating to history, heritage and conservation,
and researched historical issues and worked to
develop our education work further. I also
coordinate school work experience placements
within the society. I’ve been active in local
campaigns to conserve the town’s heritage.
I’m a former secondary teacher and department
head of history and computing/ICT, as well as
teaching in primary and special schools, FE
and University.
I bring experience of working within the Society,
of organising and involvement in educational
projects. I believe the Society is one of
Faversham’s greatest assets, and I would like
to contribute further to its work to preserve and
defend all aspects of Faversham’s heritage, to
act as a local amenity and to help protect the
qualities of the town that we love
