My name is Ken Moon and I’ve worked in around community led sustainable development for over 20 years.

I ran Riverside Real Food Market and established Riverside Community Garden & helped establish Community Energy Wales. I’ve spent the last decade supporting community organisations in Rhondda Cynon Taf and I currently provide mentoring support to community organisations in Wales. I chair a community organisation I’ve founded called Tir Pontypridd & our local branch of Palestine Solidarity Campaign UK.

I write articles & poems about the things that are of interest to me. This includes sustainability and climate change, social justice, the arms trade, peace activism, and land rights. I’m particularly interested in how we can work in our own communities to support each other towards creating a well-being economy. This includes writing about communities in Wales which are finding new and innovative ways to access and secure land to meet local needs, and the needs of future generations.

As much as I love writing I also have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, a life limiting auto-immune condition which can make writing incredibly challenging. This has especially been the case since being diagnosed with Long Covid in 2021. So, I also occasionally write about how I am adapting to living with a disability which I’m still learning about, whilst making ends meet through hybrid working that allows me to carry on working & contributing.
