Barbara Seacombe

Barbara truly deserves the recognition of someone who goes above and beyond a role of a volunteer. For over two decades, Barbara has volunteered in her local community to bring her neighbourhood together, particularly to ensure young people where she lives are involved to create a happy, thriving community neighbours can be proud of. Barbara shows her passion for breaking down the barriers for social housing by being an active representative for the Stop Social Housing Stigma Campaign which has been a positive driving force for change across the sector. She also invests a huge amount of her free time being part of the LiveWest scrutiny panel, InFocus. Just this year alone, she has volunteered nearly 20 hours of her voluntary time in completing scrutiny reviews and also completes regular training and network opportunities with TPAS, as well taking part on the Housing Ombudsman’s Residents Panel. Barbara regularly joins in on our Customer Communications Group reviews to ensure all LiveWest’s customer communications are easy to read, relevant and engaging. Barbara is also a member and chair of the local patient participation group for her GP surgery and a member of the NHS Digital Cha
