Trustees

If all eight billion of us made one uniting positive change, imagine how many problems could be solved. We are never insignificant if we work together.


Helen Ratcliffe – Chair 

A northerner by birth, Helen spent much of her professional life in London where she founded Chameleon, an award winning marketing communications company and brings her significant experience to Another Way. Selling the company and relocating to The Lake District increased and focused her interest in the outdoors and related environmental matters which can seem remote to the city dweller.

Helen’s focus is on creating and expanding the reputation of organisations and companies with key stakeholders and she has already worked with fellow trustees in the successful launch of Another Weigh, Penrith’s zero waste shop. Profits from the shop will support the work of Another Way. Helen is a member of The National Trust, The Woodland Trust, WWF and the Penrith Red Squirrel Society. In her spare time, she enjoys pottery and fell walking with husband Nick and wonder dog Aggie.


Emma and Chris Bray

We were inspired to become involved with Another Way by its founder, our daughter, Amy. She has given us hope that individual changes can make a meaningful difference if enough people are willing to make them. We want to empower other people to make those changes in their lives. Working in our shop, Another Weigh, we’ve had so many interesting conversations with people who are worried about the future of the planet and how that will affect their families. We want to show our children that we are doing all we can to help having been part of a generation that has been responsible for extensive damage to our environment.
