The National Park City Foundation is excited to announce the appointment of four new Trustees to its board as the charity continues to grow our movement both nationally and internationally.
As well as playing a vital role in supporting our governance, Trustees bring a wealth of personal and professional experience to the role that informs our overall strategic vision for the duration of their appointment (usually two consecutive terms of three years each).
Several outgoing Trustees — who will step down over the next 12 months — will continue to champion our work and follow our journey in an informal capacity.
Our four new trustees are;
Alice Harrison: Strategy Lead/Head of Fossil Fuels Campaigning at the international NGO, Global Witness.
Shereen Chung-Blake: Future Gardeners Program Coordinator and Safeguarding Lead at Bankside Open Spaces Trust.
Kalpana Arias: Founder of Nowadays, a social enterprise fighting for urban nature.
Sylvia Perrins: Who will become our new Treasurer, and is currently Chair of Trustees for a multi-academy Trust in South East London.

Chair of the National Park City Foundation, Navdeep Deol said: “Our diverse, committed Trustee board will only be enhanced by these new appointments and I’m looking forward to working together with Alice, Shereen, Kalpana, and Sylvia as well as the rest of the Board on our organisation’s mission to create greener, healthier, wilder, and more resilient National Park Cities.”
The appointments come in the wake of several exciting new announcements for National Park City including the addition of Chattanooga National Park City (US) and Breda National Park City (Netherlands) to the National Park City family.
