Toks Bailey was born in London and brought up in the UK and Nigeria and is an active community leader both through her church and through housing and children’s groups. Her children have both been educated in local schools: her daughter went to St Pauls and her son is at Charlton School, where Toks is a Governor. She is also a Governor at Willow Dene School.

Toks is a founder of JMF – a charity for young people with disabilities. Her son is autistic and Toks believes passionately that children and young people should be given a good start in life with the right support and advice. She is very involved with housing issues and until recently was a Board Member of Gallions Housing Association. She is also an active member of the BME Forum in Greenwich representing various issues affecting minority ethnic groups.

Toks is a member of a Safer Neighbourhood Panel and feels we suffer from a lack of police across the borough. She also feels that large parts of the borough are ignored in favour of Woolwich. As an experienced candidate, her priorities include campaigning for more police and better facilities for young people. Toks wants to use her experience and enthusiasm to make a difference to the lives of people living and working locally in Greenwich.
