Welcome to my political campaign  site !

 


  

I am the Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix Business  Academy, a Social Enterprise based in  Birmingham City centre - Ladywood . We focus on delivering Leadership Training & Development Projects within UK SME's. Currently our target area is the West Midlands region.  My team and I  are also undertake Interim Management consultancy work within SME's,  financial health checks, Business & Marketing Planning. Health  & Social Care, Ilex Legal Training, Human Rights & Diversity, Civil Litigations & Leadership Management are some of our sectors.  I'm also the Director of Innova Software logics which is a bespoke Computer software supporter based within Birmingham City Centre 

My work also has an international dimension: Our group focuses on delivering training projects and supports to vulnerable groups of people affected by war and poverty abroad.  One example is a project that is providing training and rehabilitation to child soldiers in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka.  Other initiatives focus on campaigning for the internally displaced - those forced to leave their homes but not the country &  externally displaced refugees who left the country.  I am an advocate of democratically driven practices among elected Leaderships around South Asian countries, within Areana and a supporter of Public Sector workers that want to retain public services as public.   

 

In  UK, I am a campaigner for Social Justice, equality, a radical Labour Government as well as proper democracy, transparency and accountability. I am also a promoter of co-operative values of self-help, self responsibility, equity and solidarity.  I know that these values make sure that public services can be personalised to each person's need if we spend enough energy to train and retain our workforce.  I believe we need to rebuild our Party and give members more say on policy making and want to stand up for grassroots' beliefs. 

 

My  priority is are to increase membership and win back support for the Labour party. I know the reality of campaigning on the ground, and have worked tirelessly in many parts of the country to get the Labour vote out.   We need members & supporters who will work with the Government, Trade Unions and our private and public partnerships.  That is why I have dedicated this site wholly for my Labour Party association,  to galvanise my commitment to building a party which puts Social Justice at the centre of our policies and winning elections at the  heart of our organisation.  We must win supporters throughout the country to ensure a  Labour Government at the next Election.

Prior to these events I spent more than 14 years within London Borough Sutton, Merton Wandsworth and Croydon as a Civil Rights and Human rights Advocate. I also campaigned as a Community Activist with Sutton Regeneration Partnership, and was a consultant & Board member with Threshold, Sutton and Asian Millat Housing Trusts.
 
I have been an activist with Peabody trust on developing a Bio-regional housing development project in Hackbridge, Sutton Merton and Croydon Youth and Senior projects development, Racial equality within Police consultative groups-Chair, Peace and Justice groups. I was honoured, recognised by London Borough of Sutton during the Queens Jubilee Celebrations . I am also an advocate, practising Skills for life Consultant who passionately believes in the enhancing skills for the future economic prosperity of this country.

I started my life as an advocate on Human rights and practiced as a Human rights lawyer in Sri lanka, as well as a specialist adviser and a Consultant for two major international charities. There I developed the drive to eradicate poverty through correct distribution of knowledge and skills: some projects were "Tools for trade" rather than throwing money solutions at corrupt governments to alleviate poverty, some targeted at single parents. I applied these approaches when we developed policies and procedures to reduce women and child poverty in UK and South Asia.  I have joined forces with many of the major charities in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh & Banda Ache (Indonesia) to combat unfair practices.  In the late 1990's, when things were tough in Sri Lanka, I became the youngest deputy head of an International Development strategy team within the Save the children Fund and UNICEF - Branches in Sri Lanka - Kandy
