About
According to Linkedin:
Kim started her career in sales and went on to work in education, lecturing in physical activity, health & wellbeing at colleges in Bradford and Dewsbury. She is also a self-employed wellbeing coach and personal trainer, with a passion for people. Since Jo’s death she has devoted much of her time to creating a positive legacy for her sister and has worked tirelessly to create as much positive energy and action from Jo's horrific murder. Through her work in Yorkshire and across the UK, she champions the importance of strong compassionate communities, where everyone has a sense of identity and belonging, inspired by Jo’s words in her first speech to parliament when she said: "we have far more in common than that which divides us.” Kim has lived in the constituency of Batley & Spen all her life.[3]
