A workshop to explore connections and ways of working together
Using the framework of Doughnut Economics as our guide, how can we ensure that our community and the environment thrive?
Introduction to the speakers:
Evelyn Sanderson Since retiring from General Practice, Evelyn is working to bring about a more sustainable future in Oxford and Oxfordshire. As a founding member of the Oxfordshire Doughnut Economic Collective she has been promoting this framework, working across sectors with local communities, policy makers and organisations. Evelyn campaigns for the preservation and connection of Oxford’s green spaces and the role of thriving, resilient urban ecosystems for our own wellbeing.
Marcus Simmons has extensive experience across various fields, including high-technology development (government and corporate), youth work and education, and international development. He now works to support community contributions to Nature Recovery and other sustainability actions across Oxfordshire. As a member of Oxfordshire Doughnut Economics Collaboration, he is inspired how applying Doughnut Economics locally can make positive impacts easier to achieve, greater in scale, and better in quality.
Sue Funge brings a wealth of lived and professional insight to developing and delivering courses and workshops relevant to individuals, communities, projects or services. Grounded in community development principles, her approach fosters inclusive participation and amplifies the voices of those often unheard — nurturing connection, belonging, and shared purpose. Sue was drawn to the Doughnut Economics Model for its holistic vision: a framework that honours both the social foundations essential for human flourishing and the ecological boundaries that safeguard our planet.
Please come and join us to explore how the doughnut economic framework can be applied in the Wantage and Grove community.
