At the AGM on November 7, 2024, members elected a new committee to take on the task of growing Plymouth Greens over the next year. Here are some of the new committee members introducing themselves:
As the new chair for Plymouth Green Party, I aim to give all members the opportunity to contribute, and to organise our activity effectively, making a difference for our communities.
I’ve lived and worked in Plymouth for over 20 years, with my wife, Sarah, and two daughters.
Richard Worrall
I’m Shayna, a co-opted member of the committee, to support all areas where necessary. My skills are based in content creation and events. I believe in equity and diversity as a strong principle of the party and promote this. I work as a social media manager for an independent security firm. I also enjoy performing my own songs at open mics, I have been part of the greens for just under 3 years now! Shayna Newton-Joynes
I’m Kayce and I am the Plymouth Green Party Secretary. My role involves a lot of organising and note taking, within meetings you will see me typing away to keep track of the parties goals. I’m a relatively new member of the Green Party and feel the policies align with my own ethos.
I am also a podiatrist in my day job, and enjoy crafting.
Kayce Allcock
I have been co-opted to the Committee as fundraising officer. I studied Economics at Essex University, where I was a student activist, and graduated in 1974. I started a family in Devon and opened a Wholefood Shop and Cafe, having run a food co-op before. I then moved to Alentejo, Portugal having bought a disused 15 hectare valley farm in 1980. I returned to London in 1987 and trained with KPMG, becoming a chartered accountant in 1991. I held various private company roles, 2 as Finance Director, others as chief accountant. I helped to produce an Arts & Crafts fair in Littlehampton for 4 years.
I retired & moved to Algarve, Portugal in 2009, where I helped organise the local fight against Oil Explorations in the Algarve, and Climate marches. I was an early member of Co-opernico, a cooperative electricity supplier now with more than 6,000 members and €2.5 million in Solar projects. I moved back to the UK in 2023. I’m a member of Climate Action Plymouth and Green Party.
