We are sad to announce that Caroline Lucas, one of our earliest supporters and a founder patron of the charity, is to stand down. This follows her decision to not to stand again as Green Party Member of Parliament for Brighton Pavilion at the 2024 General Election.
Caroline was one of the most hard working and conscientious politicians we ever met. Despite her prodigious work load, if we asked for her support, she would always be there, helping in whatever way she could. If she was unable to be present she would find some other way to assist.
We understand Caroline’s decision to withdraw and wish her well in all she chooses to do next. However, we will miss her very much. We are so thankful for all she has done for us.
We are proud to announce that Caroline’s hugely experienced political colleague Baroness Jenny Jones of Moulsecoomb, has now agreed to become a Patron. There will be a further news report about Jenny.
