The Mayor of Normanton
Tracy has lived in Normanton for the past 15 years and is a working mum to two teenagers. She joined the Town Council in 2022 and sits on the Events and Allotments Committees.
Tracy is the founder of the Normanton School Uniform Exchange, where donations of unwanted school uniform are made available to families in the local area for free. The Exchange moved into new premises last year, above the Well Loved Charity Shop at the bottom of the high street, where free uniform is available 5 days a week. Since the Exchange started in 2020, over 30,000 items of uniform have been given away, helping over 5,400 families in the community. Not only has this prevented textile waste ending up in landfill, but it has saved families money.
Tracy is also a volunteer for The Well Project, Normanton’s local charity, and often gives up her time to help with local fund-raising events. Through pay-as-you-feel donations made at the Uniform Exchange, she has raised over £10,000 for The Well Project.
She is passionate about the community and looks forward to interacting with local residents in her new role as Mayor and has plenty of exciting events planned.
