Josh Babarinde

Josh is an Eastbourne lad, born and bred, and is a proud resident of his hometown.

Born in Eastbourne’s District General Hospital (DGH), Josh is determined to protect his local hospital and is fighting to stop even more services and staff from being moved to Hastings.

A keen paddleboarder along Eastbourne’s 94 beaches, Josh is campaigning to hold water companies to account over the appalling raw sewage dumping along our coastlines.

Josh isn’t a career politician - he spent his career building an award-winning business getting young people out of crime and gangs, and into employment. He was awarded an OBE for this work by our late Queen when he was 26.
