Adrian Spurrell

Coordinator (Bedford), Groups Support Officer (job share), and Treasurer (Luton & Bedfordshire)

Adrian believes politics in the UK has been moribund for years, fixated on economics not social and environmental wellbeing and ignoring the very real challenges we are facing.  Challenges whose impact are being felt through indicators such as growing mental health issues, a struggling health system and the lack of a truly representative voting system.

He runs his own leadership and organisation development consultancy, lives in Kempston and is single with four grown up children and much to his own amazement four grandchildren.

Philippa Fleming

Coordinator (Luton & Bedfordshire) and Groups Support Officer (job share).

Philippa has been a member of the Green Party since 2014 & became an officer of the executive committee in 2015.
