"Hi,I'm Clare"

I work where environmental action, the outdoors and human wellbeing meet.

I'm an event professional, ocean advocate and outdoor facilitator based in North Wales, working across the UK and beyond; from festival fields to the open water.

I spent fifteen years as a lawyer before following a pull toward the ocean I couldn't ignore. Since then I've led a national volunteer network, run paddle cleanup expeditions and hosted water-based retreats.

NORTH WALES · UK-WIDE

Here's how I can help...

Events & Operations

Volunteer coordination, festival and event work, logistics and welfare for outdoor and environmental events.

Blue Health & Retreats

Small-group SUP days combining paddleboarding, mindfulness and nature connection. Plus private paddleboard lessons.

Speaking & Advocacy

Talks, panels and workshops on ocean conservation, blue health, climate action and the power of giving back.

OFF THE CLOCK
When I'm not working I'm usually on, in or under the water. I've paddled the width of Britain, the length of Wales and the Scottish Summer Isles cleaning plastic from our waterways, kayaked the Hebrides, the Scillies, Stockholm Archipeligo and Arctic Norway's Lofoten Islands, and dived with oceanic mantas, whale sharks and hammerheads in the far Pacific.
