Sycamore Trust UK patron Dame Margaret Hodge celebrated 25 years as MP for Barking last week.
In a distinguished parliamentary career, Dame Margaret has held a variety of government posts since being elected to serve as MP for Barking following the death of Jo Richardson in 1994.
She has been the patron of the Sycamore Trust UK for almost 20 years and in that time has been an enthusiastic supporter of our work. She regularly attends functions hosted by the Trust and can be relied upon to speak up in support of our work.
Sycamore CEO Chris Gillbanks said; “On behalf of everyone at the Sycamore Trust, I would like to send Dame Margaret our congratulations on reaching an important milestone. To serve the residents of Barking for a quarter of a century is an extraordinary achievement and we are honoured to have her as our patron”
