New team at the Campaign for Gender Balance

By Caron Lindsay | Wed 11th March 2026 - 11:47 am

The Campaign for Gender Balance is there to help women develop and stand for public office. They support women through selection processes, provide mentoring, run brilliant training like the Future Women MPs weekends. I have been on the receiving end of their support and they are brilliant.

Their chair and vice chairs are appointed by the Federal Board at the beginning of each three year cycle. Yesterday, they announced that Cllr Julia Cambridge would continue as Chair, joined by Cllr Donna Harris and Cllr Alice Bridges-Westcott as the two Vice Chairs.

Here’s the Instagram announcement from Lib Dem Women, the official organisation representing women:

Donna Harris, who is also Lib Dem Women’s chair, said:

Honoured and excited to have been selected by the Federal Board as Vice Chair of Campaign for Gender Balance.

In my role as Chair of LDW, I’m looking forward to bringing together LDW and CGB to encourage, support, train and mentor women across our party—so that women are not just present, but leading and shaping our future.

I look forward to working with @julia_cambridge and Alice Bridges-Westcott in advancing this important work. 🧡
