Helene van der Ploeg
Helene was on the Board of the Grassmarket Community Project (GCP) for 5 years, before taking up the role of CEO in 2023.. She has been in catering and hospitality throughout her career, running her own ventures and specialising in start-ups, commercial and social enterprises including Edinburgh Castle and Edinburgh Zoo. In her role at Space @ Broomhouse Hub, she led on the construction of their £3m new community building and the subsequent development of social enterprises and community activities. Latterly, she was the Director of Food & Enterprise at The Larder, delivering the startup of their new Bakery Shop and developing their outside catering and opening of their Cafe and Community Shop in Broxburn. In 2016, Helene completed a Masters in Gastronomy with Distinction, focusing on sustainable food procurement in local authorities. Her focus is on food as that vital connector, to engage with the community, and work towards reducing poverty, social isolation, and mental health issues, challenges so prevalent with the members (beneficiaries) of GCP. Whilst Helene loves all things food, she is an advocate for the great outdoors too – from kayaking to hill walking; horse-riding to a good stomp; she is keen to share these passions as a balance to her work and a chance to connect with others.

The Revd Oliver Brewer-Lennon
Musician, scholar, and priest, the Revd Oliver Brewer-Lennon has a distinguished background in both performance and academic research. Before ordination, he was a professional singer, performing with leading early music ensembles and chamber groups across the United States. Praised by The New York Times for his “attractive round tenor,” he appeared as both a soloist and ensemble singer in major concert venues and international festivals. His academic work focuses on Gregorian Chant, specialising in the interpretation of medieval notation and its implications for performance. Alongside his research, his theological training has shaped a particular interest in how music functions within worship and religious thought—not only as a historical practice but as something that continues to shape contemporary faith and culture. He has contributed to books on professional development for musicians and the practicalities of working in the classical music industry. Now Rector of St Michael and All Saints, Edinburgh, he continues to explore the intersection of music, theology, and human expression.
…but this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is thy faithfulness.
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul,
"therefore I will hope in him."
The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul that seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
Lamentations 3:21-26
