2021 County Elections – Cuckfield & Lucastes – Alison Rees

I was born and grew up in East Sussex, where my paternal grandmother's family have lived for generations. My mother is from Hong Kong and fell in love with Mid-Sussex when they lived here briefly before I was born, moving back to Lindfield in 1992. I settled in Haywards Heath eleven years ago and work for a charitable trust which funds research and innovation. It is based in London, and affiliated to a large global company. I previously worked for two other charitable sector organisations and for the BBC World Service. I am now also the carer for my mother, who has arthritis as well as a rare form of dementia, and I volunteer in one of the town's charity shops. In my spare time I also walk and swim, play the piano and write, and I enjoy anything to do with fabric, felt or stained glass.
