Ltd., a not-for-profit company which organised an annual renewably-powered festival (The Big Green Gathering) promoting environmental awareness and sustainable living.
Evelyn Goulden
Evelyn Goulden worked in the MOD for 36 years and has managed staff and enabled change and relocation. Her concerns about the environment over 30 years led her to join Salisbury Transition City, of which she stood as co-chair for two years. She is also a volunteer at Share Salisbury. Both of these are not-for-profit C.I.Cs, and both positions are unpaid.
Richard Sharp

These four founding Trustees were elected at the first General Meeting after our incorporation as a charity. Since then, one Trustee has stood down and been re-elected at each subsequent Annual General Meeting. The Board of Trustees may comprise up to a maximum of seven trustees, so there are currently three additional vacancies.
Any member may stand for election at an AGM, but vacancies may also be filled by co-option between meetings. Anyone interested in joining the Board, or in learning more of what goes on, would be welcome to join us on the stall any Tuesday or at any of our regular online Board meetings which take place on Wednesday evenings. Board meetings are open to all members, and we would love more people to get involved – email salisburyecohuballiance@gmail.com to request a Zoom link.
Our next AGM will take place in early 2027.To vote at that meeting, and to hold the Board of Trustees to account, you need to be a signed-up member. If you have not already done so, please JOIN US . – There is no charge!
