Cat works for a national youth charity empowering voices of young people and is passionate about addressing climate change, the ecological crisis and addressing inequality. Previously Cat worked for Medway Youth Trust for 15 years and was a Trustee of a Medway Charity that supported families with young children.
"I have been an active campaigner in Medway for Medway Green Party for 5 years and spoken to residents across Strood, Rochester, The Peninsula towns and villages, Cuxton, Halling, and the constituency areas of Chatham and Gillingham. I understand the issues that people are concerned about including health and public services, the environment, over development, politicians not working in interests of residents, and I pledge to represent everyone regardless of their personal political choices".
Trish Marchant, co-chair of Medway Greens, said "We are fortunate to have a such an outstanding candidate representing not just the Green Party but the diverse needs and aspirations of the Rochester and Strood constituency and the wider Medway Towns.
