I oversee the Business Development and Communications teams. I work across functions to ensure that we’re thinking strategically about our growth, and that new services and clients are aligned with our mission and impact goals.At SCN we’re radically transforming the funding landscape and strengthening civil society.⚒️ We remove the financial and administrative barriers (like bank accounts and legal structures) that often prevent communities, grassroots groups and unincorporated organisations from accessing funding and focusing on their core mission. 💸 We also work closely with funders, providing grant distribution and fund management services that enable them to support frontline social action with confidence and transparency.💥 We support over 600 grassroots and community groups across the UK and abroad, addressing issues such as social injustice, climate, housing, wellbeing and animal rights. ⚡ We have supported groups in securing over £23 million in funding, helping them take advantage of opportunities that may have otherwise been unavailable.If you're a group, a coalition or movement, or a funder looking for progressive and impactful ways to fund social change - get in touch and let's work together!

Abney Park is a woodland memorial park and nature reserve that brings together communities to connect with the past and reimagine the future by interacting with nature. Abney Park embodies many of the values that underpin my life: the importance of caring and learning about the natural world, of preserving the environment, and of building stronger and more resilient communities as a pathway to solve the deep eco-social crisis we're in.
