Catherine has worked in the charity sector for almost twenty years, across a wide range of sectors including climate action and sustainability, youth work, refugee support, and international development.

Prior to joining the Trust, Catherine was a founding member of the 'Back the Bowl' campaign whose work with the Trust was pivotal to achieving the restoration the Crystal Palace Platform - the park's iconic outdoor venue - so that thousands of people could once again enjoy live music in the Bowl.

At the Trust, Catherine looks after the development and communication functions. This covers raising the funding needed for the park's ongoing maintenance and major regeneration projects, membership, visitor communications, and raising the profile of this very special park as a heritage landscape, cultural destination and, quite simply, a very fun day-out!
