Carlotta Allum is the founder of STRETCH, a local criminal justice charity that helps people who’ve committed offences or are at risk reintegrate into society through creative arts and culture.

Full statement

She works with marginalised and excluded communities, who are most harmed by our failing social safety net.

She’s an artist and activist, as well as a mother of three. Carlotta is hugely passionate about activities for young people to keep them away from crime.

Lambeth Council and Labour have failed the people of Brixton – Carlotta strongly believes in a people-led borough where local residents make can make a real a difference.
