Rosemary Hedges

My name is Rosemary Hedges and I have lived in the Calder Valley for 40 years, in the village of Luddenden. I worked in NHS mental health services for 37 years as a clinical psychologist and I have a strong interest in the value of public service to the community. I have been involved with local Labour party politics and believe socialism represents all that is best about the human condition. I have three grown up children, two of whom live in the valley, and three grandchildren. I am currently involved as a volunteer in the Calder Food Support Food Bank which is based in St Michaels Church in Mytholmroyd, where I supervise the stock cupboards, which is no easy job! I am keen to become involved with all the Council developments in Hebden Bridge, Mytholmroyd & Cragg Vale and will try very hard to make a difference to our beautiful valley.
