Claire Sheppard, a compassionate, hard-working campaigner with community in her heart is asking for your vote for the London Assembly.

Claire – candidate for Lambeth & Southwark and on the London-wide List of candidates –  is a Peckham-based community activist, small business owner, cancer survivor and mum who has lived in the area for 25 years.

In 2020 Claire co-founded Nunhead Knocks community mutual aid group, providing and co-ordinating practical support in SE15 trough Covid. In winter 2022/23 the group pivoted to providing small community grants, fundraising over £40k over three years. In one tough winter alone almost £20k in individual grants of £50 meeting the basic needs of food and fuel.

Claire came to politics later in life following major life experiences: new motherhood, cancer treatment and applying for Universal Credit. She vowed that once recovered, she would make a positive contribution to her community and do all she could to leave the world a better place for her son. She has campaigned in six elections in the last six years, and as Green Party Candidate for Lambeth and Southwark in the London Assembly elections in 2021 beat the Tories into 3rd place.

Claire is a proven hard-working, caring and respected campaigner who, in her words, will work her socks off for her fellow Londoners.
