… to my personal website*: ‘irony-subverted self promotion dressed up as public benefaction’.
I’ve been a fulltime volunteer environmental ‘strategist and campaigner’ since 1998, with a portfolio of activity that reaches from the local to the global, and which focuses on climate change – and as part of that transport, including aviation – and regional activity here in Yorkshire. Now based in Hebden Bridge, I was brought up in the London suburb of Pinner before moving North to study, live and work in Manchester. You can read something – but not too much – about my biography here.
Most of my environmental work has been done via Friends of the Earth and I was on its Board for nine years, chairing the Campaigns Committee for six. Whilst still continuing that connection, more and more of my personal activity is channelled through the Anthony Rae Foundation, founded in 2009 and which now has Funding, Analysis and Information ‘divisions’. Of course, it’s all just me, rushing around.
I work for free; and believe in collective benefit – I don’t like selfish individualism (but both in a non-politically partisan sense) – and the transformative power of creativity.
If you’re interested in my work or that of the Foundation – maybe can see an opportunity for collaboration – you should contact me.
