Lucy joined The MCS Foundation in June 2022 to help communicate the Foundation’s vision and research findings for policy change and the scaling up of retrofitting.

A trained journalist, she has a background in newspapers and a subsequent career in communicating on behalf of protected areas like national parks, with a focus on nature and public engagement and access.

Lucy has worked across the UK and beyond, leading projects from Ukraine to Northern Ireland, and more locally for the Broads National Park, and Norfolk Coast Partnership. She recently helped steer the setting up of a UK-wide climate action group on behalf of areas of outstanding natural beauty.

Closer to home she is experienced in and committed to close working with communities, both as an elected member and in chairing local groups including a county-wide climate action group and a community centre (the first to get solar panels in Norwich!)
