Kate Greenhalf

Volunteer Coordinator

Kate began working for Brighton Permaculture Trust in the early part of 2008 and has had a number of administrative roles within the charity over the years.

She now mostly works as a self employed gardener but still enjoys her role as volunteer coordinator for our various courses and projects. She also has other admin roles with Low Carbon Trust and Stanmer Organics and is Trustee of a small Buddhist Charity. When she has any spare time to herself, she enjoys her own garden, photography and wandering the beautiful Sussex countryside.
