Bee has spent her career providing information and advice and managing services for older people and their carers. Until 2016 she worked with Age UK Oxfordshire, including running activities in Banbury. She has had considerable experience of fundraising in her various work roles, as a trustee of St Mary’s Day Centre in Bloxham, and for other voluntary groups.
Bee finds great satisfaction in working on her allotment, is a keen amateur artist and enjoys learning Spanish, swimming, cycling, yoga and Zumba. She is a regional representative and speaker for the Toybox Charity, which works with Street Children. She is an active member of her local church, runs a fellowship group at a local care home and instigated and runs an annual Community Christmas lunch.
Born and bred in the area, and with family connections to Banbury which stretch back generations, Bee is full of enthusiasm for the prospect of making a difference for local older people by helping to make Banbury an Age Friendly Town.
Bee is married, with 4 grown up children, and is expecting her first grandchild with pleasure. She is a graduate of Oxford University.
