Kate Kennally

Kate is passionate about improving Cornish residents’ lives through inclusive good growth and empowering communities to get involved in the delivery of public services. She is determined that the South West should be a leading region for sustainable living, harnessing the natural resources which we have within the region to support growth. One of her key priorities is to address social inequalities, working with local partners, businesses, and central government to reduce rural and coastal disparities and to tackle complex issues such as childhood obesity and healthy ageing, as well as creating the right conditions for social mobility. Alongside a background in People Services, Kate is the Association of County Council Chief Executives policy lead for Net Zero and is also a commissioner on the South West Social Mobility Commission.
