Katherine Hughes is the Company Secretary and Project Manager. A local resident and Chartered Town Planner, Katherine’s governance experience is as chair or member of national charities, housing associations and public bodies. Before setting up her consultancy in 1994, Katherine was Director of the Welsh Consumer Council, responsible for policy development, strategic and business planning, communications and lobbying, partnership working, and budgeting. Her consultancy provides specialist advice to local authorities and community groups across the social justice and regeneration agendas; her interests lie in supporting active citizenship, promoting equal opportunities and creating sustainable communities. She has secured over £1.5 million for community projects and enterprises, helping them to regenerate strategically to reflect changing circumstances. Katherine became a founding member of the project because she believes in the vibrancy of her own community to preserve the miners’ wonderful legacy as a much-needed community resource.
