Hi. I'm Kaye Corfe

Bideford West - Town

I have felt welcomed and connected to this community since moving here six and a half years ago. I now want to be a town councillor, to empower our community to grow and become more resilient.

I believe in social inclusion for all and am passionate to support people in the community who are:

homeless or threatened with homelessness

have addiction and mental health

difficulties suffering from isolation and loneliness

I have worked in the care/support field for 16 years. I listen to people, hear them and act. I do not claim to be superhuman but if elected I will put my heart and soul into the role of Your Town Councillor.
