We are a Cooperative
Being a member of Kentish Town Vegbox Co-operative means that as well as getting tasty organic fruit and veg each week, you also have the right to participate democratically in shaping the future of Vegbox.
Each member has 1 vote which can be used to vote on decisions at Extraordinary General Meetings (EGMs) & Annual General Meetings (AGMs). Members may also request the board to hold an Extraordinary General Meeting if there is something they would like to discuss.
We have an elected board that meets monthly and oversees all of Vegbox’s operations. We elect the members of the board yearly at the AGM. Any of our members may run to be on the board. Below you can see a list of current board members.
Phil
Phil has been a dedicated member of the Vegbox packing team for almost 9 years. Renowned for his focus, dedication and packing speed (sometimes he is a little too fast!), he also handles finances, payroll, a bit of HR, and the volunteer rota. Always dependable and supportive, Phil has been an asset to Vegbox for many years and we are excited that he has finally joined the board.
Roland
Roland is the newest board member. He is an independent business consultant, coach and writer. With over two decades of experience spanning both the public and private sectors. He grew up in Singapore and the kohlrabi he gets from Vegbox makes excellent Singaporean fried carrot cake, which he misses.
Morgan
Morgan joined the Vegbox Board in 2022, having first become involved as a volunteer during her university years. She is deeply passionate about organic farming, food justice, and community-led local resilience initiatives.
In addition to her role at Vegbox, Morgan works for Ooooby, enjoys crafting and knitting, and participates in folk dancing. With a long-term dream of starting her own farm, Morgan brings enthusiasm and energy to everything she does.
Carmel
Carmel has been a packer with Vegbox for quite a few seasons now and this is her second stint on the board. Wednesday in the packing yard is her favourite day of week. She especially loves the community feel and the do it together ethos and uses her platform as a DJ & punk musician to enthusiastically promote Vegbox.

Mariangela
