Born and raised in Edgware Middlesex, Barbara gained a degree in History from Edge Hill University and then worked for many years in the retail and IT sectors before moving to Carleton in 2003 and changing direction to focus on mainly voluntary roles.
Barbara works part-time in education and retail and is a busy and devoted mum to 3 children. Voluntary work includes for Guide Dogs as a puppy walker and speaker, in store for Oxfam, and supporting Poulton RAF Air Cadets, as a civilian committee member.
Barbara was a Hambleton and Stalmine Ward Candidate for Wyre Council in 2023, saying:
"My support of the Green Party began many years ago, as I looked into policies that would shape a fairer, sustainable and more caring world, becoming disillusioned with the 3 party political system we have in the UK.
I strongly believe that new policies and ideas are needed, that focus on key areas such as sustainability, environmental protection, education, public transport, social planning and infrastructure.
I am passionate about ‘putting back’ in to the community through volunteering and would work hard as a local councillor to make a difference to our local area and everyone in it."
