Finding Sam was an incredible stroke of luck. He somehow walked through the door, and you thought, my God, this is the most lucky day of all time.

The campaign Sam supported doubled the number of pupils recruited to the academy which was a measure of success. I was grateful for his input.

Hi! I'm Sam.
I am a skilled communicator with a passion for social progress.
Having grown up as a young carer, and following a successful few years as a TV and film actor in my late teens, I have dedicated myself to public service and the pursuit of alleviating poverty.
At the age of 22, I was successfully elected to Rother District Council for the Labour Party, beating a well-known Conservative incumbent.
In my first four years, I led politically on a 'transformational' anti-poverty strategy which was praised by Local Government Association Peer Reviewers, and used by Greater Manchester Poverty Action (now Resolve Poverty) in a best-practice study.
In 2023, having led my community through the Covid-19 pandemic as part of the local response effort (and ending up on a ventilator briefly myself), I stood again for a second term, winning with an increased share of the vote alongside my co-candidate for the Labour Party.
I now sit on the Cabinet at Rother District Council as the Portfolio Holder for Equalities, Wellbeing and Community Safety, as well as operating the political communications for the administration coalition, including writing the foundational policy document that has underscored the administration's political aims.
I am also in the final year of an Open Degree (Social Science, Politics and Creative Writing) with the Open University.
Looking to the future, I aim to find a fulfilling job that matches my skillsets and contributes to the progress of society and the betterment of humanity.
As well as my main pursuits, I have also developed multiple peripheral skills and interests. This Includes graphic design, fiction writing, stage illusions, teaching and roleplay/social deduction games/activities.
These facets have mainly developed out of necessity. For example, due to my political campaigning experiences (where I have taken on roles as a campaign co-ordinator and as a social media/comms officer as well as sometimes being a candidate myself), I have gained a great deal of graphic design experience - generating leaflets, brochures, banners, graphics, video content, websites and more.
I have also taught acting, film making and table-top roleplay classes for almost a decade now at several local performing arts schools for ages 8 through to 18+. These are popular, well-attended and successful - with multiple alumni going on to study acting or film making at prestigious Universities.
If my activities were pies, this website would be a pie shop.* Please feel free to look around and see what I've been up to.
*Sadly, there are no actual pies here, but I can recommend these delicious vegan pies if you're peckish - https://magpye.co.uk/
