I grew up in Birmingham, studying Social Administration at that University. Graduating in 1972, I married Derek, who was then a chemistry PhD student. I did a Post graduate diploma in Social Work at Leicester University before moving to Bar Hill and working for Social Services at Addenbrookes, until our son's birth in 1976. We joined Holy Trinity Church in Market Street and have been members there ever since. We moved into West Chesterton in 1978 and became more interested in politics as the SDP was founded. Our daughter was born in 1980 and we spent 4 years in New Jersey where I ran our church's Sunday School and was a hospice volunteer. Returning to Cambridge, I volunteered for Arthur Rank House, co-ordinated the work of Crossroads Caring for Carers in S&E Cambs., became an OU student & started delivering Focus. Moving to Queen Edith's in 1992 I again worked for Social Services until1998. This was followed by 3 years as regional representative for Foundation for the Study of Infant deaths (our second child died as a cot death in 1978) and tutoring with the Open University. OU opportunities developed and I have been an Educational Adviser for the last 8 years specialising in Health and Social Care, disability issues and some prison work. I am a trustee for Crossroads Care Cambridgeshire and recently stood down from the Henry Martyn Trust (owners of the Hall above Crabtree and Evelyn in Market Street) I now have two grandsons, one in York, the other Sydney, so I enjoy travel, walking, reading and cross-stitch.
