Early life and education[edit]

Human rights work[edit]
Working with Nottingham's Arimathea Trust, Prideaux finds shelter and support for asylum seekers and refugees in her area, making sure they have legal representation as they fight to stay safe. She manages a team of volunteer ‘befrienders’, lawyers and mentors, organising petitions and running marathons[2] in her spare time to raise further awareness.[3] In 2018 she featured in Amnesty UK's Suffragette spirit map of Britain.[4]
