Director, ReSpace Projects

October 2015 - Current

A not-for-profit set up to address issues of waste and inequality.

ReSpace is developing a system for a network of community spaces; once disused buildings that have been transformed into vibrant hubs for positive change. These have an immediate practical impact reducing society's waste from reaching landfill - and extending the life of materials through creative up-cycling. Projects are environmentally and socially focused - with these sorts of activities and events being given priority access to space.


My role mainly concerns:

Ethical operations 

Environmental issues 

Community empowerment 

Communications and Strategy
