 Councillor Favour Ezeifedi–A passionate Campaigner for Equality and Fairness.

Favour is a social worker, a councillor and a mother.

Overcoming adversity and challenges in herpersonal and professional life enabled her to understand the needs of the less privileged and inspired her desire to contribute to making a difference.

Before migrating to the UK through the Highly Skilled Work Permit, Favour hada very successful career in telecommunication working across African countries.

Having witnessed first-hand the level of injustice and deprivation within struggling families in a local Watford school where she as a school governor,Favour was determined to change this narrative. This led her to become deeply involved in her local community through various voluntary organisations and faith groups. She quickly became an advocate for other parents and a role model in the community.

Favour has worked as a front line social work in many local authorities including Brent, Hillingdon and Hertfordshire County Council. Favour is the Chief Executive Officer of a social work consultancy group: http://www.destinycreationsgroup.org
