After a career in Horticulture and Garden Design, Debbie started working in the charity sector in 2006 organising gardening Corporate Days for a Housing Association and teaching horticulture to adults with learning disabilities. She then worked for 8 years as Business Development Manager for a local community charity in Derbyshire. After moving home to Kent two years ago, she joined Demelza’s Trust and Foundations Team in December 2021.
