It was a delight today to welcome The Glacier Trust's new Executive Director, Ruby Glasspool to the team. I spent the afternoon with her up in Bristol, going through the history of our work, our current projects, our special projects, and all the nuts and bolts that go on behind the scenes to keep everything ticking along.
Ruby is hugely impressive, she's going to take TGT to new heights I'm sure of it. She's got all the right experience, dedication, intelligence, and values that a job like this requires.
It’s a bittersweet day for me, one of the most incredible chapters of my life has come to an end. It's been an amazing six years, it has changed me in more ways than I could ever have predicted. I've been to beautiful places, met wonderful people, eaten food - straight off the branch - that you can't find anywhere else in the world, and seen what climate change is doing to the most innocent of victims, but also what can be done to enable communities to adapt.
I'm staying involved - half a day week - as our volunteer 'climate change adaptation adviser'; and I can't wait to watch and learn from Ruby.
Please continue to support TGT, the adaptation needs and possibilities are both growing and we're making the changes that need to happen, happen.
Big thanks to Wiper and True for hosting Ruby and I today, the new brewery and tap room is incredible, if you're in Bristol, get down there - they're doing great climate work there too!
