Harshita Patel
Lead
My ten-year-old son attends The Garden School in Hackney. He loves swimming, yoga, and singing. I am ambitious about creating opportunities for our children to join in and be a part of existing communities within the Square Mile and beyond. My passion drives me to make changes through my work with the Parent Carer Forum. I am also Co-Chair of the SEND Board at the City of London.
