Background

About Deborah Stainforth

I am an elected Councillor for Adur District Council and currently serve as Chair of the Audit and Governance Committee. With a strong commitment to strengthening community resilience, reducing inequalities, and addressing poverty, I am dedicated to empowering individuals and communities to transform their lives and living conditions in sustainable and innovative ways. I bring a diligent, results-driven approach to my work, consistently managing complex caseloads and competing demands with minimal supervision. I excel at prioritizing tasks, tracking progress, and ensuring timely outcomes. My ability to interpret and communicate complex data clearly and effectively allows me to engage diverse audiences, from local residents to senior stakeholders. With extensive experience in partnership and multi-agency working, I have successfully developed and led sustainable projects across various sectors, including housing, homelessness, social psychology, family support, health, wellbeing, and community safety. I am passionate about working collaboratively to deliver impactful solutions that drive positive change and create lasting community and organisational benefits.
