Meet our colleagues

 

I work on campaigns and initiatives to reduce waste and encourage recycling throughout Leicestershire. I work closely with our volunteers to communicate these messages to residents at various events and talks throughout the county. Some of the areas I work on include waste education, volunteer and event coordination and our SHIRE environment grant scheme. I find it rewarding to know that the behaviour change messages I am communicating are having a positive impact on our environment.
