Michelle Cook is one of your three Labour candidates for Wandsworth Town ward.
Michelle Cook is standing to represent Wandsworth Town, a community where she grew up, raised her son, and continues to contribute.
She began her career as a bereavement counsellor with Wandsworth Bereavement Service (WBS) and, over 25 years, has led and transformed voluntary sector services across local family support, youth work, addiction, and social care.
Most recently, she managed a specialist team supporting people living with Multiple Sclerosis, deepening her understanding of residents with complex needs.
Michelle grew up in a politically engaged Battersea household and has remained active locally — volunteering with charities, contributing to permaculture projects, and supporting the arts. She believes in empowered, connected communities.
Alongside campaigning, she has been working with neighbours to establish a local residents’ group, reflecting her collaborative approach to solving problems.
She is committed to amplifying community voices, strengthening the voluntary sector, and widening participation, particularly among young residents.
