I'm a teacher and researcher, recently retired to focus more on climate change education initiatives. I found the DEAL community after watching Nate Hagan interviewing Kate Raworth recently. Over the last 4-5 years I have worked with others to design and teach workshops, mostly for adults. I'm always interested in ideas and resources, so the website was a very helpful find!

I am a member of our local Community Land Trust which is part of the National Community Land trust Network. Land Trusts are community controlled and community owned not for profit organisations. We aim for long term stewardship of affordable housing or other community assets. In St Ives there is a lack of affordable housing for local people. The Community came together to raise the money to buy a large old property. We have been able to begin the renovation of the building to create six affordable flats to rent for local people with the support of a mortgage from Triodos Bank and funding partners including the Architectural Heritage Fund, the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government. The renovation involves the conversion to renewable energy sources. The Trust has also raised the money to buy another building, a former Chapel, this project will be for the development of affordable workshop spaces.

The Doughnut is a very interesting concept. I'm looking to learn more, and connect with people who are already using the tools actively. Until 2021 I used to work in the company my father founded, making unusual lighting fixtures. Due to a change of shareholders after my father's passing away, the company was sold. I'm looking for new things to do, but not as caterpillar manufacturer anymore. I'm specially interested in supporting projects in product design, architecture, urban planning, bicycles, projects run by women, projects that make the cities more friendly and livable, projects that help everyone to stop overconsumption
