Meet the trustees
Cecilia Cruz (Community Engagment)
For seven years, Calthorpe Community Garden has been more than a place to Cecilia - it’s been a sanctuary of warmth, connection, and shared humanity. In 2023, Cecilia stepped into the role of Trustee, driven by a deep commitment to protect what makes this space so special. Her mission is to preserve this legacy of unity and care. Cecilia believes in a future where Calthorpe remains a refuge where generations can continue to connect, heal, and thrive. Together, we’re not just tending a garden; we’re growing a community rooted in respect, joy, and the belief that when we come together, we flourish.
Holly Norman (Secretary)
Holly is a researcher at the Institute for Global Prosperity, UCL, where she focuses on food systems, public services, and social justice in urban environments. She was co-opted to the Trustee Board in 2025. Originally from Bristol and now living in Hackney, Holly is passionate about community, the arts, and nature. She enjoys hiking and being outdoors.
Annabel Prentice Botterill (Chair)
Annabel is incredibly honoured to get to contribute and support Calthorpe as the Chair of the trustees. She first got involved with Calthorpe through corporate volunteering 2 years ago - helping in the Garden, helping cook meals for the community, and organising digital education courses for the community. From her first visit to Calthorpe, it was clear to see what a special and unique community organisation it was.
Annabel has 20 years of experience in the marketing and tech industry, with a focus on sales, operations, and leadership, including 15 years at Google. She is skilled in strategic thinking, driving impact through teams and collaborative approaches to problem-solving. She is originally from the United States and also called Australia home for 11 years before moving to the UK 6 years ago with her English husband and her two children.
Becca Farnum (Safeguarding)
Becca is an activist and academic focused on environmental justice and community engagement. She chairs the Advisory Board for We Do Green Rwanda (a youth-led agroforestry movement) and leads the Arts Initiative of the Environmental Peacebuilding Association. Past projects have involved drafting legal policy for the United Nations; community organising for equal rights policies; and serving a stint in the Obama White House.
Michal Jordan (Treasurer)
Michal is a newly appointed trustee, bringing enthusiasm and a passion for fostering meaningful social connections through the power of nature. Michal aims to add value through a strong professional background in project and programme management, and years of experience in volunteerism. Michal hopes to create a vibrant and welcoming space where individuals can connect, learn, and thrive. Driving a positive change, support sustainable growth, and shape impactful initiatives that will enhance the lives of local residents.
