E17: Naomi Rubbra on how we create meaningful connections across our ageing society

Naomi is the CEO of Footwork Trust. Their purpose is to create effective, more collaborative models for how places are made and remade that are locally rooted and led; and informed by local knowledge and experience. By identifying, supporting and learning with local social innovators and the communities they serve, Footwork uncovers the barriers to successful placemaking and how best to overcome them.

Naomi is originally an architect, graduating with Distinction from University College London. She worked as a designer in Copenhagen, New York & Chicago before settling in London. Throughout her travels, Naomi witnessed the importance of social justice in building community resilience. Not least in London, where her award winning thesis uncovered the reality of life for older people living in a North London housing estate.
