I am Vice Chairman of the Environmental Law Foundation, a unique charity which provides access to environmental justice for individuals and community groups to whom it might otherwise be denied. My initial role on becoming a trustee was to provide guidance in relation to the charity’s rebranding in 2007 and I continue to provide advice in relation to general management, structural and stakeholder relationship issues.

Working closely with our then-President Martin Polden OBE, I and our Chief Executive Debbie Tripley wrote our application for funding of £250,000 from the DCLG’s new Empowerment Fund. Crucial to this was explaining the process by which good intentions would be transformed into delivered, hard, worthwhile results.

Our submission was successful, one of just 21 out of 160 organisations that had applied.  This funding is making a huge difference to the Foundation, allowing the fulfilment of our Sustainable Communities Project, which helps communities to access their rights under the Sustainable Communities Act.

The new President of the Environmental Law Foundation is HRH The Prince of Wales.
