Founder and Director
Katrina founded Young Climate Warriors in
February 2019. 'I felt compelled to convert my
feelings into actions and channel my energies into a venture to try and help combat climate change.'
Prior to having children Katrina worked as a management consultant on assignments including: the London Government Sustainable Communities strategy and the Mayor's Transport Strategy. She then undertook a Masters in Environmental Change and subsequently worked with ClimateCare, a carbon offsetting business.
More recently she has been involved in Greener Henley community initiatives, and is a Judge for the Henley Schools Environmental Science Competition.
Katrina loves running in the countryside, thinks being able to harness the sun’s power to create electricity is fantastic, and her children get a bit fed up of cabbage and curly kale.
Administration and Communications Manager
Lynne joined Young Climate Warriors in September 2021 to help with administration and communications.
Lynne has a science background and she spent years working in the pharmaceutical industry, but having children and thinking about their future changed her focus and priorities. She is now passionate about the environment and is excited to be able to support teachers and help empower children to make difference.
Lynne loves baking, yoga, walking in the woods, and taking her children on adventures.
Social Media Officer
Molly joined Young Climate Warriors as a Social Media Officer in July 2021.
Molly is currently at university studying Human Geography and will start a Masters in Climate Change and Environmental Policy in September 2022. Her research focuses on the Paris Agreement, and the importance of non-state actors (such as Young Climate Warriors!) in helping reduce climate change. She has worked on sustainability policies for schools, and is an ambassador for the Royal Geographical Society.
Molly loves reading, playing the saxophone and going on crazy adventures around the world.
Trustee
Fleur has been involved in Young Climate Warriors since its inception, providing an invaluable science teachers perspective.
Fleur has worked as a primary school teacher for almost 20 years, teaching in London, Rome, Oxfordshire and now for King’s International College, in sunny Bangkok. Always with a passion for encouraging child-led initiatives and engaging children today, in how and why we should protect the planet for the future. Young Climate Warriors exactly complements this idea, empowering young people to undertake simple challenges that cumulatively have a far-reaching impact.
Fleur loves to travel, learn about new cultures, she and her family delight in trying and cooking international cuisine.
Trustee (formally a Director)
Sarah joined Young Climate Warriors in March 2019. ‘I don’t believe it is our children’s job to solve the climate crisis. But I do believe passionately that they – like all of us – should have the opportunity to find out how we can live more sustainably and that they should have a platform to make their voices heard.’
Sarah spent ten years as a civil servant in Whitehall, where her work included legislation on air pollution and public transport. She recently completed a Master’s degree focusing on how individuals can respond to global environmental change.
She loves woodland walks with her family and their dog and singing (not very tunefully).
Schools Programme Manager
Julie joined Young Climate Warriors in March 2023. 'I believe children deserve support and encouragement to understand that they truly can make a difference, and their views count in the global challenge of combatting climate change.'
Julie has worked in education in both teaching and facilities management and has initiated a number of environmental initiatives across a number of schools.
Julie loves gardening and has created a pollinator friendly garden at home and has recently welcomed a resident hedgehog named Mo.

Claudia has worked as a grant fundraiser for the Centre for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Surrey, at a local School, and previously at the House of Commons and with the World Health Organisation in Geneva. She’s keen to improve understanding of how to live better on our finite planet.
Claudia loves gardening, making spaces for wildlife and enjoys community tree-planting at every opportunity.
