Catalyst Campaigns is run by Karen Grant, who offers consultancy based on 18 years experience in the Scottish voluntary sector, often working in collaboration with other specialists in the field.
Services offered include writing and designing communications materials for social and environmental justice groups, but range through strategic project and funding advice and support. Particular areas of expertise include community-based climate action. She is currently researching issues around art and social change.
Karen Grant has run Catalyst Campaigns since 2008. Before that she worked for 5 years as Director of Scottish Education and Action for Development (SEAD) during which time she developed and launched the innovative community-based climate action project Switch On to Climate Change.
She has worked with diverse campaigning organisations on issues from forestry to sustainable living and development education, in roles which included management, campaign and organisational strategy development, funding, communications and community involvement. These include the Green Group in the Scottish Parliament, Corporate Europe Observatory, Action for Solidarity, Equality, the Environment and Development (A SEED Europe) and Reforesting Scotland.
