Helena is Labour's Parliamentary Candidate for Hastings and Rye. She was born and raised in East Sussex, attended local state schools and was a volunteer vaccinator in Hastings supporting the roll out of the Covid-19 vaccine.

Helena has a professional background in international development. Her work at Save the Children took her from refugee camps in Bangladesh to war zones like Yemen, where she stood up for the world’s most vulnerable children. Now she is using that experience to stand up for Hastings and Rye, campaigning on issues like long Ambulance waits, saving the local fire service and ending the dumping of sewage in our sea. If elected as the Labour MP for Hastings and Rye, Helena would fight for every resident of Hastings and Rye at Westminster.
