Our ambitious and changemaker Trustees are all volunteers. They each bring a variety of skills, experience and expertise to guide us into the future.
We are looking for more friendly local people who are interested in supporting the work of Greener and Cleaner, working in The Hub and fighting the climate crisis together.
If you are keen to get involved with our team, please consider volunteering. There are many benefits and there are lots of different opportunities for all different skill sets.
Meet the Trustees:
Carrie Heitmeyer
Carrie currently works in science policy and academic engagement. She strongly believes in the importance of community and participatory processes in ensuring that we can work collectively towards improving the future of our planet.
A social scientist by training, Carrie is excited to work with Greener and Cleaner to think about how we can use research to capture new models for promoting community engagement with nature and the environment, and to improve awareness around the need for a more sustainable and equitable future.
Kevin Withane
Kevin has a background in corporate law, and currently leads the Asia and Americas legal teams at a FTSE250 company. Additionally, Kevin is an investor, DE&I and sustainability advocate and the Founder of Diversity-X.
Kevin is focussed on supporting underestimated founders of purpose-led startups solving real-world problems and seeking to make the world a better place. Kevin is deeply passionate about building a sustainable, inclusive world.
Kate Rhule
I currently work in corporate governance and have a background in policy and project management. I became passionate about sustainability whilst at university, and was excited to discover a large community of like-minded people in my local area through Greener and Cleaner.
I believe that how we choose to live has local and global impacts, and that collectively we have the power to realise positive change for everyone’s benefit. In my spare time I can be found enjoying a walk in the many green spaces that we have on our doorstep in Bromley.
Maria Staines
I have taken up my role within Greener and Cleaner as I feel passionately about our need to make changes within our communities to improve our environment.
I am a mother of two children and work part time as a pharmacist within the NHS. My awareness of planetary health, and how it impacts on our own health and that of our children, pushes me to do what I can within my professional and home life to make change a reality. I love gardening, music, crafting, wildlife and connecting with others to build strong communities. The growth of Greener and Cleaner over the years I have been involved gives me hope in the future and strength to strive for better together.
Ewan Buck
After a career in magazine design and art direction, I launched Contingent Works in Bromley. A boutique cowork studio in the centre of town with a stakeholder structure to support staff, members, and the local community. Our three pillars are work, community and wellness and after launching in a pandemic lockdown we have become a space for a local community of entrepreneurs and creatives.
Both roles allow me to actively contribute to a greener future, promoting environmentally responsible practices and fostering a sustainable community. As a trustee of Greener and Cleaner, the significance of championing Net Zero and sustainability cannot be overstated. It is a true honour to play a part in shaping a greener and more sustainable future.
