As a Disability activist with lived experience of a frequently debilitating rheumatic condition (ankylosing spondylitis) a community activist and as a Social Inclusion representative through the Public Participation Network (PPN) on our County secretariat as well as representing our County on the national PPN secretariat and numerous additional associated committees at national level, in a voluntary capacity, I have been progressive in advancing numerous areas of policy at National, European and Global level, per the attached media contributions. I will be happy to contribute further in any way I can to advance our mutual commitments to advance Democracy and align a number of areas of policy, especially social policy, in a robust and holistic manner based on good governance, integrity, inclusion and transparency. Without 'flattening the curve' and ensuring that our Democracy is adequately representative of All of society, a number of the recurring themes and challenges will continue. If anything requires further clarification do please let me know.
