Lets meet the team! From left to right, Tracey, Debbie and Sophia.
Sophia is the Creative Catalyst for the Forest of Dean area. She holds the regular ‘open table’ meeting space of Bream Dream to catalyse community ideas through conversation. Sophia is always actively listening, asking “who isn't here” and seeking to include them.
Debbie is the Creative Catalyst for Matson, White City and Robinswood holding regular gatherings for Culture Matson. There has been much rich learning from this group over 9 years, including the introduction of a community ‘Sheepy Bank’. Debbie is on hand to share learning to help Bream Dream to introduce their own version of this community-owned & governed resource.
Tracey is a Co-lead of Create Gloucestershire and facilitates Bream Dream. She encourages all the voices in (and not in) the room, always making transparency and equity central to the meetings.
