In Marian's own words

I was born and educated in Sutton. I returned to Sutton in 2008 and live in

Belmont ward.

Since 2008 I have been a volunteer at a local charity where I have helped

hundreds of residents with claims for Attendance Allowance, consumer issues

and many other problems, sometimes saving them hundreds of pounds.

I also represent patients from my GP practice at the Patients’ Representative

Group for the South West London area of the NHS.

My experience in these roles made me aware that many disabled people found

it almost impossible to complete the on line application for a Blue Badge. Last

year I managed to persuade council officials to provide face-to-face help with

online applications where needed.

I have recently become a mentor supporting a troubled young person to

achieve her potential.

As your councillor I would be able to use the skills I have acquired to help

residents struggling with bureaucracy.

I am a life-long campaigner against all forms of racism and an active supporter

of Sutton Friends of Palestine.

Is this you?
