Kate is passionate about improving Cornish residents’ lives through inclusive good growth and empowering communities to get involved in the delivery of public services. She is determined that the South-West should be a leading region for sustainable living, harnessing the natural resources which we have within the region to support growth. One of her key priorities is to address social inequalities, working with local partners, businesses and central government to reduce rural and coastal disparities and tackle complex issues such as childhood obesity and healthy ageing as well as creating the right conditions for social mobility.
Alongside a background in People Services, Kate is the Association of County Council Chief Executives policy lead for Net Zero and is the local government representative on the Ministerial Green Jobs Delivery Group, working to ensure that we have the right skilled workforce for the future. Our education system needs to ensure that all young people regardless of their economic background are able to thrive and succeed in this fast changing world. There is much to do to make this a reality, which is why Kate is keen to play her part through being part of the South-West Social Mobility Commission to take advantage of the region’s commitment and talent and work towards long term change with both local and national politicians.
