Kath Dalmeny
Trustee
In her day job, Kath Dalmeny coordinates the Sustain food and farming alliance, supporting action across the food and farming system for health, fairness and sustainability. She is particularly interested in place-based action such as the Sustainable Food Places network, and support for people most marginalised in our food system, so is a long-term supporter of Food Matters and its pioneering work on these important issues.
‘Food Matters is a really great group of people trying to make positive change happen in the food system, in a principled, connected, supportive, human-centred and down-to-earth (down to soil!) sort of way. I really love working with a team who values communities and the role that good policies, planning and decision-making can in creating the spaces and institutions that enable better ways of feeding ourselves and each other.’
Charlie Powell
Trustee
Charlie has worked for a large number of charities campaigning for fair and sustainable policies. In recent years he has worked in the public sector.
‘I value contributing to FM’s direction, learning from our friendly bunch of trustees and staying connected to food system issues which affect people’s health and wellbeing.’
