Meet a Changemaker: Sue Sinton Smith, Carer Representative, Autism Strategy Delivery Board

Sue is passionate about making links within the community. Alongside other volunteering roles, Sue spends her time representing the views of carers of autistic people in Newham. She creates links between carers and seeks out carers whose views are not being represented. She started off supporting her son, and then joined a group of carers supporting people with mental health problems. She has helped to build the Autism Strategy in Newham. Her dream is for all autistic people to be accepted for their differences, and for them to be able to express their needs. Sue is motivated by spreading kindness wherever she goes.
