Circularity to me means…
being able to meet different types of people that wouldn’t normally engage with each other and changing mindsets from Me to We.

Keri Lawrence
Keri is a big believer in people. He works within the charitable sector and has his own allotment. Keri is our governance guide and helps lead Circularity.org through how to keep those structures and rigour in place.
Circularity to me means…
Circularity is a fulcrum of power, a way of providing power from systems with excess to systems with too little. This may be turning waste into resources by recycling, or providing opportunities for people who have too much time to volunteer. It might be providing skills sharing or even distribution of knowledge through education.
