Stewart Kemp

Stewart Kemp is a retired local government officer and now a volunteer community organiser working to protect, promote and improve Sheffield’s green spaces and river corridors which are essential for our physical and mental well-being as well as for nature. Since retiring he has also given time to help young children improve their reading skills, help young offenders get their lives back on track, and, through community forum work, helped to set up and run an afternoon social club for the elderly to tackle social isolation. Stewart arrived in Sheffield in 1978 as a newly qualified probation officer, initially working in the Beighton and Mosborough areas. He is a keen cyclist, hill walker and devoted parent and grandparent.
