David has held roles as Head of Services at a small charity in Bristol and trustee of an HIV organisation. He is currently Social Investment Lead for an international development social enterprise. An intermittent box scheme customer (and reluctant cook), he was motivated to get more involved with The Farm when old interests in food and sustainability reappeared as part of family life. Originally an apprentice electrician, David studied digital communications and art history and worked in IT before moving overseas to run an environmental social enterprise. He has worked for charities in Bristol since moving here just over ten years ago and is strongly supportive of The Farm’s community and education work.
