Brighton Councillor Jacob Allen – A Man Shaped by Care, Community and Courage

Inspired by a childhood spent alongside foster children from marginalised families, Brighton councillor Jacob Allen entered politics to change the systems that failed them. After multiple attempts to get elected, he proved persistence matters. Here, Jacob speaks candidly about youth and welfare reform, progressive debt policy, biodiversity and wildlife projects, and his successful campaign to secure a new Falmer bus route, all rooted in a deep commitment to fairness, access and community.
