Aisha Cuthbert grew up in British Columbia, Canada, and moved to the UK 13 years ago. She is a local Swale resident, wife, mother, and former councillor.
Professionally, she has worked in the social housing sector for over a decade for a large housing association, which specialises in supported housing, including for veterans.
She is dedicated and passionate about serving local communities and has been a councillor and portfolio holder for the environment responsible for parks, trees, environmental crime, waste and recycling.
Aisha is also interested in how politicians can help to tackle loneliness and social isolation in our communities and led a campaign to tackle loneliness, which was internationally recognised.
Aisha is a former national synchronised swimmer and swam for Team GB Masters. Her final competition was representing Great Britain at the World Aquatics (FINA) championships in Budapest, Hungary in 2017.
She is very pleased to be standing as the Conservative parliamentary candidate for Sittingbourne and Sheppey. She is the only local female candidate and if elected, she would be the first ever female Member of Parliament for the constituency.
Aisha is looking forward to meeting more residents, voluntary groups, and businesses during her election campaign and hopes she can count on your support and vote on Thursday 4th July 2024.
