Rachel Eden

I an very proud to be bringing up my family in west Reading and with my family roots in West Berkshire, I am proud to be the Labour and Cooperative candidate for Reading West. I am the founder of an award-winning small business that works with charities, social enterprises and growing businesses. I have been a Whitley ward councillor since 2010 and am committed to working with residents across Reading West on the issues that matter to local people, whether it is tackling crime, more affordable housing or support for our NHS and social care. I work closely alongside local small businesses to promote our area and as well as working in a professional capacity as a director of Reading Community Energy Society, a cooperative dedicated to producing renewable energy that benefits our local community. I am passionate about our amazing home of Reading West. We deserve an active, accessible MP who will put us first. I promise to always stand up for our community.
