About Wendy
Wendy is passionate about unlocking the potential in people.
Her studies have taken her from being a specialist in the foundational importance of early learning, to examining natural systems dynamics, our understanding of the word 'wisdom' and the importance of family and community life for the creation of sustainable societies and cultures of lifelong learning.
Over the last ten years she has devoted her time to addressing a growing concern about societal values and wellbeing and the importance of safeguarding future generations. She is the founder and Chief Executive of the Save Childhood Movement www.savechildhood.net, which in 2013 established National Children's Day UK www.nationalchildrensdayuk.com as a significant platform for raising awareness about child rights and wellbeing.
In 2016 she was chosen as one of the Brahma Kumaris '100 Women of Spirit' and in 2018 she created the Flourish Project www.flourishproject.net as a major new global initiative exploring our understanding of human flourishing and the Triple Nature of Wellbeing i.e Self, Others and the Natural World.. In 2019 she joined the Global Council for the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (and was co-chair for a year). She is also now leading the development of the UK Spirituality in Education Alliance. In 2021 she founded www.futuregens.net, was invited to become a member of the SDG Thought Leaders Circle sdgthoughtleaderscircle.org/. and became UK Country Lead on Collective Stewardship for the G100. She is an active member of the Charter for Compassion and Harvard Human Flourishing Program Education Groups.
What does fulfil us and produce sustainable states of wellbeing? How do we protect both children and adults from systems that undermine our inherent creativity and potential? How do we ensure that we can all feel valued and connected? Wendy's diverse projects explore the limitations of measuring societal wellbeing solely through GDP, the modern world's erosion of childhood and our shared need for meaningful relationship, community and contribution.
