Alan Radbourne
Alan is a science project manager for UKCEH based in North Wales working on projects involving sustainable land management and regenerative agriculture, practising some of these principles on his own 12-acre small holding in the beautiful location of Anglesey. However, the job is not what took Alan to Anglesey (although it has been a great blessing!), in 2017 he and his wife Rachel planted a new expression of church on the island called Lighthouse Church Anglesey. He now juggles scientific research, church leadership, small holding life and a young family with three ‘mighty men’, busy but a great adventure!
