Méabh Poultney

Grants Officer

Bio

I'm a Grants Officer at Founders Pledge! Before this, I was working as a Programme Coordinator for an arms-length of the civil service. In this role, I was designing and allocating public-sector funding programmes for de-carbonisation projects on behalf of the UK government.

My education consisted of a BSc in Environmental Science followed by an MSc in Environmental Governance. During which, I focused on international development and the intersection of social justice and environmental issues.

I love to travel, and spent some time volunteering in Colombia in 2025 providing environmental education to young people in rural areas. I also love dancing and listening to music with my friends as well as cooking and trying new and exciting foods. I'm excited to see all the good we can achieve through our work at Founders Pledge!

Q&A with Méabh

Q: If you could choose anyone famous (real or fictional) to have dinner with who would they be and why?

Emmeline Pankhurst

Q: As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A doctor. Which unfortunately came crashing when I realized my life would not be like an episode of Grey's Anatomy.

Q: If a movie was made of your life what genre would it be, who would play you?

I'd love to say some sort of Angelina & Brad, but Bridget Jones remains relatable.
