Alisa Igoe

I was 11 years old when my family moved to Bromley. I attended Beaverwood School for Girls (now Chislehurst School for Girls), followed by Orpington College of Further Education.

I’m married with twin adult children, who both attended Bromley schools when they were younger. I was for many years an unpaid carer for my elderly father, who was also a Bromley resident, until he passed away in 2025. Caring for him opened my eyes to the challenges families face when supporting an elderly parent and the pressures this can bring to your job, time and finances.

I have experience of working in both large corporate organisations and smaller companies. Most of my employment has been in public facing roles. Currently I have a part time admin job, as well as my role as a Ward Councillor for Plaistow ward.

For four years from 2021 until 2025 I volunteered for a well-known and respected Bromley charity who assist and support vulnerable families. I helped devise the charity’s scheme providing essential kitchen items such as fridges and cookers, and ran the scheme alone, from referrals and eligibility checks through to organising gas and electrical installations.
