COMMUNITY
ACTION

Making good ideas happen locally.

I have a practical, detailed knowledge of developing community-based projects from initial idea to successful delivery. 

​

I'm passionate about bringing good people and good ideas together, and have a practical mindset that helps new ideas get off the ground.

A complete professional we are consistently impressed with her work with us. We look forward to continuing to work with Kathryn in the future".

​

In 2017, I founded Stirling Soup, a community-led crowdfunding event that was shortlisted for a Scottish Charity Award.

​

"Kathryn managed to quickly and, seemingly effortlessly, pull together a fantastic group of volunteers and businesses to create a democratic community fundraising movement in Stirling. Kathryn's can do attitude and bright, friendly personality are infectious. It was a true pleasure to volunteer for her. She has inspired me to go on and try new things that I probably would never have done if I hadn't known her".
