Ellenor Hutson
Ellenor Hutson is 30 years old and is sponsored by South East Region TUC to work on a project to Organise Vulnerable Workers, funded by the Union Modernisation Fund.
She has previously worked as a Welfare Benefits Advisor at Kilburn Citizens Advice Bureau where she was also the union rep for Unite. Ellenor has also been active in the London Coalition Against Poverty, organising in the community around issues of welfare and housing rights.
Ellenor found the selection procedure oddly reminiscent of the Apprentice and X Factor and is amazed and overjoyed to have made it through “the final round” and into the Organiser Academy. She is looking forward to getting stuck into organising Vulnerable Workers in London and feels privileged to have the opportunity to be organising full time.
Ellenor hopes to assist workers to build and maintain strong organisation and to win tangible victories. She would also like to improve her own practice and in particular to learn a more structured and effective approach to organising.
Ellenor lives in London with her housemate and dog. Her favourite food is steak and chips (preferably with a pint) and she is currently expanding her musical tastes with the help of Spotify. Her current new passion is electro-folk band Tunng.
