Lucy is from the UK but lives in Sweden, currently in a small cabin up in the mountains. She is one of the founders of Girls in Sport, an award-winning Swedish foundation that uses sport and adventure sport to drive positive social change. A main focus of the foundations work is on creating a sports and outdoors culture which is more open and inclusive towards girls and women.

The foundation also runs a range of social innovation projects, events, leadership programs and corporate social responsibility schemes.

She has a PhD in tropical ecological management and a Master’s degree in environmental technology. She is also a professional Integral coach with Integral Coaching Canada.
HEIDI´S INTRO TO LUCY
Women Matters Is a monthly live broadcast since 2016. Four of the founding members are still with us while a few women came to join us later.
