One of Cllr Carragher’s final engagements was representing Sefton at the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool.
At the meeting, she said: “You’ll have to excuse me. I’ve been at Eurovision and lost my voice through singing!
“This role has shown off my superpower.
“As a neurodiverse person this shows us all that we have the ability and strength to do anything and everything we set our mind to.”
Cllr Carragher presented the Diversity and Inclusion Award at the 2023 Pride Of Sefton Awards at The Grand in Southport, was appointed President of the Southport Royal British Legion, hosted royal visits, raised tens of thousands of pounds through the Mayor of Sefton’s Charity Fund, supported children in need through the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal, and attended hundreds of events over the past two years.
