Peter Mansfield-Clark MBE, former Director of Crawley Open House, has given his support to Henry Smith, Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Crawley, at the General Election on 7th May.

Peter said;

“I am proud to know, and on many occasions to have worked with, Henry over the last few years. He is a person who believes fervently in Crawley, its people and its communities, and he works tirelessly to help them.

“He has always supported me in my charitable work with homeless and disadvantaged people in Crawley.

“Henry is a politician who actually listens to his constituents which counts for a great deal, and I think that makes him a person and an MP who is very special.”

Peter was the Director of Crawley Open House for 15 years, retiring in 2014.

He was awarded an MBE for his services to disadvantaged people in 2010, and was presented with one of the first Mayor’s Awards for his services to the people of Crawley in 2008.

Henry said;

“People across Crawley and beyond are aware of Peter’s dedication to helping others.

“His work is an inspiration, and I am delighted to have his support.”

Peter joins Mat Cowdrey, Vice Chair of the Crawley Town Supporters Alliance, Graham Cridland, Founder and Chairman of the West Sussex & Surrey Angling Academy, and Dr Brian May, Queen guitarist and animal welfare campaigner, in giving their support to Henry Smith.
