Who I want to serve

I work with local communities, social enterprises and organisations that want to turn social and environmental goals into practical change. My projects bring neighbours together, support older people through intergenerational businesses, and help teams make sustainability part of their everyday work.

The thread through my work

I connect strategy with practical delivery. Across community events, fundraising campaigns and sustainability projects, I bring people together, establish a shared direction and carry the work through to a public event, campaign or finished report.
