'100 people who made Watford'
Fri 02 Dec 2022We are very excited that one of our Governors, Mrs Sharifa Chaudry, has been nominated as one of the top 100 people who have made a extraordinary contribution to Watford as part of the Watford Borough Centenary celebrations.
Sharifa Chaudry has been a pioneer for Muslim woman and the local community for over 50 years, since arriving in Watford from Pakistan in 1965. In 1976, she became one of the first Muslim women in Watford to pass her driving test. Originally she qualified as a social worker, the first of an ethnic minority in Watford, and supported many families for over 20 years. She also worked as an interpreter and voluntary committee member for several organisations, including the police.
She is certainly one of the 100 people who have made Watford and we are all very proud of her as she is a big part of our Parkgate family!
