Catherine provided absolutely crucial insight and challenge to ensure the Parks for Health Strategy brought our vision to life. She guided us through some difficult and challenging periods to help keep the project focussed and on track and was absolutely critical to our success. She became an essential and integrated part of the team (not just a consultant) and this was down to Catherine’s engaging skills and passionate approach. We are indebted to her.

I’ve worked with Catherine on Camden & Islington’s Parks for Health initiative over several years. Catherine has an excellent approach to working with people from a range of backgrounds, progressing conceptual aspirations into clear and practical collective next steps/plans. She is persistent with a keen eye on the end result. Catherine is great to work with and we’ve really benefitted from her passionate interest in the subject area as well.
