Ali Morecroft

Ali joined the parish in May 2023 having lived in Preston since January 1997. Although she moved to Preston from London she grew up in a small village in Somerset which ingrained in her the importance of being part of a community and also the joys of rural life.  The move to Preston, when her sons were 3yrs old, enabled them to also benefit from a sense of community and the joys of country life. Her boys attended local schools and were both keen members of Preston Cricket Club – one of whom still plays regularly. Ali is a keen supporter of the cricket club and regularly watches home games. She was honoured to have been asked to be President of the cricket club. Ali is also a shareholder in the Red Lion and has been a board member since 2016. She takes interest in village events and activities and a founding member of Preston Village Voices (the community choir in Preston) which formed in late 2012.  Ali is keen to embrace change whilst attempting to maintain all the benefits of living in a small village.
