Lloyd Russell-Moyle
MP for Brighton, Kemptown and Peacehaven since 2017
About Lloyd Russell-Moyle
Lloyd Russell-Moyle was born in Brighton. He studied at Sussex Downs and worked nights in Tesco and a pub, before working for East Sussex County Council and working outside the area. Lloyd has worked for the UN, been Vice President of the European Youth Forum and has led on projects on Inclusion, Education, Employment, Youth Rights, Anti-Discrimination and Mobility.
“More than 100 years ago Ambrose Gorham set up a fund to support primary education in Telscombe Village. He did this because he knew that education is at the heart of community. It is often schools that bring generations together, that transform communities and help our children achieve their dreams. Community education has been at the heart of Peacehaven and Telscombe schools since then.”
