I know first hand that Cranhill Development Trust works tirelessly to meet the complex needs of the community I’m proud to call home.

CDT is a respected provider of employability support, integration initiatives, life-long learning, as well as health and wellbeing. The organisation been able to provide services to thousands of local people in the community over the years.

CDT offers support to people in the community on a range of issues not undertaken by statutory services but it undoubtedly needs to attract fundraising from as many sources as possible.

As a politician, I’ve long believed in deeds, not words. That’s why I’m lacing up my running shoes and fundraising for this vital local charity which means so much to me and our community.
