Jenny Nelson: Coordinator - Environment Network for Manchester

Jenny coordinates The Environment Network For Manchester, which is a collective of groups and organisations working towards the development of a truly sustainable city. Members of the network are involved in a wide range of activities and issues and Jenny helps link them together, supporting their work with a range of services.

“Since I came to Manchester to study Ba. Economics and Social Sciences, I have been involved with a wide range of different voluntary, community and campaign groups that seek environmental, social and economic justice. From editing Mule newspaper, to being a Local Project Manager for 'Action for Sustainable Living' and supporting Climate Forum events, I have developed an understanding of the differing needs that these organisations have, as well as the incredible amount that they have in common. I am always keen to hear people's news, views and ideas, as cooperation and communication are key steps toward the positive change that together we can achieve.”
