Catherine Tuitt

I first became involved in co-operatives as a teenager through my mother, who was involved in Carribean co-operatives. In 2000, I established a financial Co-operative called London Community Credit Union. I was very passionate to promote co-operative values when I served as a local elected councillor.

My passion and values lead me to be part of the movement for co-operative models of housing. In the form of community benefit societies and community land trusts, I was an inaugral elected board member for London's first community land trust.

I am currently a director for Roman Road CLT. In my professional career, I worked in public service in the National Health Service and did legal work in solicitors' offices and barristers' chambers. I have also worked in central government. For my hobbies, I paint and am involved in photography as part of community exhibitions.
