A dinner lady took me to the seaside | Naz Shah

When Naz was at primary school her family couldn't afford to go on holiday. Somehow, a dinner lady knew just what she needed…


Naz Shah MP has had a rollercoaster life. She lived in poverty after her dad ran off with their sixteen-year-old neighbour; Naz then left school at the age of twelve to be sent to Pakistan where she was pushed into an arranged marriage; and her mum was sent to prison after killing an abusive man.


Naz has used her experiences to campaign for others in need, but it was a very small "thank you" from a woman Naz had never met before that has stayed with her. Also in this episode: how her local Bishop Toby provided comfort at her hospital bed and how Mrs Brassley gave her the holiday she could never have imagined.


Share this episode far and wide and let's find Mrs Brassley!


Naz Shah's memoir Honoured is out now to read and listen to.
