Marita joined Consortium as a London Engagement Officer in February 2021 and is now our London Engagement Lead. They support and explore opportunities for our 200+ London members, and work closely with various organisations in the LGBT+ sector and beyond to improve the conditions for LGBT+ organisations, groups and projects in London.
Since they took on their first volunteer role 13 years ago, she has been committed to community organising and support. They have volunteered in the LGBT+ sector, supported research on the conditions of LGBT+ people claiming asylum, volunteered at youth centres, for a migrant rights organisation and been a volunteer mentor across several projects. Marita has a degree in Human Geography and Migration Studies and loves learning.
Being in nature is an essential part of Marita and they will sneak off into forests and other nature locations as often as they can. At the right time of year you will find them in Norway foraging mushrooms and berries, and the rest of the year they try to live life at a slow and sweet pace in South London.
