​Charles is a former BBC sports executive, now a self-employed consultant and lecturer across a range of work in media, sport and broadcasting.  He’s lived in Southfields for over 20 years, and fully involved in community life as both Governor of a local primary school and Chair of the Southfields Grid Residents’ Association. 

Living close to Coronations Gardens Charles would like to have its facilities upgraded and extended to be enjoyed by everyone, locals and visitors alike.

Tim has lived in the grid for the last 5 years having moved from Clapham. His daughter went to Riversdale school until this year and still enjoys coming and playing in Coronation Gardens. He has a passion for Victorian and Georgian architecture and joining the friends group was a great way to get involved with a small bit of history. He has been involved in sports team committees and as a school governor in Clapham but is now keen to get involved in his local area. 

He has degrees in Aeronautical Engineering and Software Engineering and even though he started out as an engineer he is now more of a consultant / delivery manager working for Government clients In Westminster.  Telling people what they need, rather than doing it himself! 

Geoff has lived in Southfields for 23 years, after moving from Clapham. He is keen on all things eco especially buildings, and was a founding member of the Sustainable Development Commission. He has worked in computing and design in the City, and taught at several Universities. 

Geoff would like to see more natural, informal and sustainable gardening with edutainment facilities, such as a greenhouse, originally on the site, and ponds designed to improve the ecosystem.

Rebecca has lived in Southfields for the last 8 years, moving from Putney. The gardens have always interested her as she walks through them twice a day with her two rescue dogs. Rebecca was inspired by the great improvements the Friends had made to the gardens and decided to join and help the community.

With a background in design, Rebecca is able to help out with flyers and communications. The gardens have a wonderful history and a positive future as an important local green space.

Tara has lived in Southfields for 23 years. She worked as an occupational therapist in local mental health services for 20 years before retraining as a professional gardener.

She currently works as a self-employed gardener using organic methods and soil regeneration practices as well as working part-time for a local mental health charity. Tara is passionate about the power of gardening to transform lives and communities and would like to see local people actively involved in growing a beautiful, productive and biodiverse Coronation Gardens.
