Alison also stood as a local councillor for Killingworth and served as a Cabinet member for Adult Social Care. This gave her an insight into the issues faced by carers across North Tyneside.

“I am extremely aware of the issues faced by carers, all of which I can appreciate as the sole carer for my elderly mum. I am determined to help North Tyneside Carers’ Centre continue raising the profile of carers and ensure they get the support they deserve.” She said.
