Having moved to the borough 30 years ago from Manchester, Swift now dedicates her time to the TRA, alongside her work at Cozy, a carpet shop on Askew Road, and assisting an elderly friend with a rental property.
Swift joined the TRA to connect with neighbours and the local community, a goal she has achieved working alongside chair Margaret Cornibert and treasurer Michele Shepherd. She described her proudest moment as the TRA's first fun day in October, which brought together people of all ages for activities including falconry, face painting, food, and a tombola. Plans are underway to host a similar event next year.
In her free time, Swift is a keen football fan, holding a season ticket for Brentford FC at the Gtech Community Stadium. She also reminisced about cheering on Manchester United at Old Trafford during her childhood.
Her favourite local spots include Ravenscourt Park, which is close to her estate, and the Orchard Tavern pub on Askew Road, which she praises for its warm and welcoming atmosphere and reasonable prices.
