Claire Morris: Coordinator - Sustaining Change

Claire has many years experience working in the public and third sector. After completing a degree in Sociology and Politics she worked in the charity sector where she was Ward Visiting Officer for Hope Hospital Citizens Advice Bureau. Claire then moved into the social care sector as a youth worker and deputy manager for a supported housing project for socially excluded young people.

Looking for a new challenge Claire returned to education and completed a Masters in Heritage, Arts and Museums Management which then lead to her working as Access and Inclusion Officer at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery and most recently Creative Programme Manager for Creative Partnerships, the creative education arm of Arts Council England. Claire has recently returned from India where she was a volunteer Project Manager for Raleigh International, a UK charity supporting the personal development of young people through community, environmental and adventure projects. It was through this volunteering placement that Claire decided that her heart lies in environmental education and is chuffed to bits to be the Project Coordinator for the Sustaining Change Programme.
