Join our mailing list for updates on our events and climate progress!

At the heart of our mission are the following principles

Sharing resources

Reduce waste and promote sustainability by sharing our unwanted items, encouraging repair over replacement, and opting for borrowing or hiring instead of buying new.

Knowledge sharing

Education is crucial in facing climate change. We strive to create a hub for learning, where we exchange ideas, information, and innovative solutions.

Building community

We invite you to participate in lively conversations and engage with like-minded individuals who are passionate about climate action. Together, we can make a difference.

Taking action

The time to act on climate change was yesterday, but the second-best time is now. We encourage everyone to get involved and contribute to combat this global challenge.

Embracing fun

We believe that fostering an enjoyable atmosphere enhances our ability to drive change effectively. While we work hard on climate action, we ensure that having fun is an integral part of our journey.

Collaboration

We collaborate with local groups, councils, and organisations to build our community’s resilience and adaptability. By joining forces, we can reach more people with our message and make an impact.

My career has taken some diverse twists and turns but I have always had a love of the natural world and a passionate interest in preserving it for the future.

Following a degree in Zoology at King’s College, London, I worked with homeless families in the capital, supporting them while in hostel accommodation. I subsequently moved to Spain where I lived and worked for five years, teaching English as a Foreign Language.

Back in the UK, I qualified as a primary school teacher and worked in Shropshire schools for thirty years, holding the post of SENCO for the final twelve years.

Since retirement I have continued to work as a supply teacher in many different schools, and at vaccination centres during the pandemic. Recently I have started to keep chickens and bees and am currently studying for British Beekeeping Association exams.

From a young age I have felt connected to Nature and wanted to do my best to protect our planet. 

From adopting a duck when I was a child, to conservation holidays, hedge laying and dry stone walling as a teen, to supporting the invaluable work of the Centre for Alternative Technology and Woodland Trust once I entered work as a social worker and could afford to give regular donations. 

Since 2016 I have become increasingly involved with campaigning due to my increasing concerns about the climate and ecological crises.  I began to realise that as individuals we have the power to take action for ourselves to help our communities and help the planet which is why I got involved in setting up Climate Action Hub Telford.

I’m a self employed sole trader of Plastic free, traditional kitchen and hardware goods, selling at and supporting local Shropshire markets. Present day. I  was also a company director for 12 years, running a successful internet business which, at its peak, employed 10 employees. My roles were business management, staffing, daily operations and company accounts (2007-2019).

After the sale of my business in 2019 I made a conscious decision to become more locally focused in my day to day life. I also became extremely conscious of plastic consumption and pollution in our everyday life. In Jan 2019 myself and my husband did a local campaign called “Plastanuary” and committed to zero purchase of any plastic, in whatever form for the month of January.

We involved all local shops that provided alternatives to plastic, posted it on SM and got a lot of interest and support.  It also opened my eyes to the community that was around me and the benefits of working together.  I now also work with Sustainable Wellington and at present we are aiming for Wellington to become a Plastic free town. 

When Covid-19 hit and then lockdown the importance of community rose to the top teaching us all its importance. I strongly believe that this is the future as we are moving increasingly closer to the changes that climate change is tasking us all with.

As a mum of three I care deeply about the future of the planet for my children and other generations.

After my youngest son was born, I made a career change allowing me to put more time into voluntary work. I worked as a local journalist for 20 years and have seen first-hand some of the amazing work done by community groups.

Inspired by a lady I saw on the news during maternity leave, I set up Terracycle Telford in 2019 to encourage more recycling of items such as crisp packets and beauty products. The group now has more than 900 members and has diverted 1,135kg of waste from landfill. 

My passion for recycling goes back to childhood, when my granny taught me to never waste a thing, and I believe it should be a way of life – not a hobby. I look forward to helping others make what changes they can to secure a greener future for us all.
