Eva Pryce has always had a strong interest in community activism and social change. As an Undergrad at university, she was Campaigns Officer for Amnesty Society. Following graduation, she worked as a Children and Young People Advocate, supporting families with housing, financial and education issues across London. She witnessed limited services and opportunities for the children she worked with and felt that problems were often made worse by environmental factors, such as noise and air pollution. This led her to pursue a Masters of Environment, Politics and Development at King's College London. As part of her course, she joined Global Action Plan as a Clean Air Intern to support them with their Clean Air Day campaign. She is currently working on her dissertation on the connection between child deprivation and air pollution along the Uxbridge Road in West London.
