Bethany Handson is the Stronger Shores Project Officer, supporting with events, meetings, partner engagement, social media and website communications. Bethany helped facilitate the Stronger Shores Launch Event and Stronger Shores First Annual Conference.

Bethany has been attending engagement events within coastal communities across the North East and representing Stronger Shores at conferences using the project’s engagement resources. This work helps engage communities and raise awareness of Stronger Shores. 

Bethany has experience of working with a number of coastal groups and organisations, including external partners such as the Marine Management Organization, the Environment Agency, Natural England and the RNLI. She lives in South Tyneside and is passionate about nature-based solutions which she believes are important for the future of our coastal communities. Her background is in ensuring the democratic processes in Local Government run smoothly, and in collaboration with Elected Members, bringing a different but useful perspective in supporting a project such as Stronger Shores for the region and wider Flood and Coastal Innovation Programme.
