COUNCILLOR SHIRLEY FARADAY
Shirley moved to Godalming in 2000. She has put her roots down here and has lived in the same house since then. She brought her daughter home from the Royal Surrey Hospital in 2002 and got married to David in the garden of the same house in 2003.
The financial events of 2008 made Shirley pay more attention to how the world works. She has campaigned for better education about the monetary system and was keen to understand how money could work better for people and the planet.
Shirley was elected as a Green Councillor in 2019 and it is the first time she has been a Councillor. Shirley volunteers as a venue manager for ‘What Next?’ an Environmental Charity in Godalming; which will be the Mayor’s charity for her term of office. She leads a food project to help reduce carbon and a theatre project to raise awareness of the environment.
For her day job Shirley leads leadership development courses and specialises in a method called ‘The Thinking Environment.’ Shirley is passionate about gardening and cooking and playing the ukulele.
