The Cambridge Carbon Footprint staff are responsible for the day-to-day running of the charity. The Management Group meets regularly.
Here are our key staff members and their views of why they enjoy being part of Cambridge Carbon Footprint:
Mary Geddes (Co-ordinator)
Mary Geddes joined CCF at the beginning of 2010 as Co-ordinator , with an overview of all our Cambridge-area activity, as well as managing the office. Mary plays a key role in CCF projects including Carbon Conversations and Climate Friendly Homes. With a post-graduate diploma in business administration (with French and Spanish) and a degree in Spanish and Communication Studies, Mary has many years experience in office administration and managing large events.
“I’ve lived in Cambridge most of my life and still love it, especially my allotment at Burnside. I came across CCF around 2008. By volunteering at events and facilitating Carbon Conversations, I became increasingly involved, until I took up this paid post in early 2010. It is really great to be paid to work in a field that I am passionate about. I have never, ever, once been bored as there is so much variety and so much to do! I am always impressed by the enthusiasm, genenerosity and commitment of our volunteers.”
Stephanie Ferguson (Volunteer and Events Organiser)
Stephanie Ferguson joined CCF at the end of 2011 as Volunteer and Events Organiser. She is originally from Canada and has lived in Cambridge for over two years. Stephanie holds a BSc in Biology from the University of Calgary and she has worked for several environmental charities and causes, including the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) and Yes to Fairer Votes Cambridge. Stephanie also created and coordinates the Growing Spaces project with Transition Cambridge.
“I was drawn to CCF’s positive approach to low-carbon living, especially after taking Carbon Conversations. I strongly feel becoming more and more low-carbon is an ongoing journey to be excited about and enjoyed. I’m so pleased to be able to create events and provide resources that help others in Cambridge get excited about it too!”
