Grace English is Co-Chief Executive Officer at High Trees, leading the organisation alongside Anna Coffey. Her role is to provide leadership to deliver the vision, strategy and services of High Trees, and to ensure the organisation and its staff are able to thrive. High Trees was founded by residents taking collective action, and that belief in community leadership continues to guide Grace's work - from the free, high-quality services delivered across Tulse Hill and the wider borough, to the partnerships, community research and capacity building support that strengthen Lambeth's voluntary and community sector. She is committed to High Trees remaining vision-led rather than funding-led, and to the principle that lasting change comes when individuals, communities and the organisations who work with and for them have the power, voice and resources to shape the decisions that affect them.
