SUB36 THE ONES TO WATCH


Megan Pickles


Project manager, The Growing Club


24


Megan is motivated by driving social change and has already made a significant impact in her time at Lancaster-based community interest company The Growing Club.


She joined the organisation as a trainee and after it was clear that she was excelling in her role, was given the task of organising a fundraising event, which went on to raise thousands of pounds from local businesses to be used as seed funding for women on benefits looking to start their own companies.


Her early results were so impressive that she was soon promoted to project manager, and has since written the organisation’s environmental policy, organised various events, led the NHS-funded Winter Survival programme supporting more than 100 women, and won funding from Rosa for a Women / Neurodiversity / Employment campaign.


Megan, who is dyspraxic and has ADHD, is also studying for her MA in sustainability and transport and plans to use her experiences and expertise to make a difference in this field too.
