Anastasia Bloom (Trustee)

Anastasia Bloom (Trustee) has spent most of her career in international banking focusing on business development in emerging markets. Her job has taken her to far flung corners of the Earth – the US, Latin America, Africa, Middle East, Russia, where she has had an extensive exposure to local cultures and practices. Anastasia benefits from breadth of experience having dealt with governments, regulators, large corporations, small enterprises and start-ups. Her current focus is on the wealth management sector and capital introduction with ethical investments playing a big part in her work. Anastasia is passionate about improving living standards. She is on the Board of Trustees of Homes for Haringey where she sits on the risk and audit committee and is closely involved with the borough’s housing supply program. Anastasia is passionate about art and theatre. She lives with her family in North London.

Anastasia wholeheartedly supports CleanupUK’s mission of strengthening communities through litter picking activities. Unfortunately there is a common preconception that poorer areas are less clean and tidy. There isn’t any reason why it should be this way and, by creating a force from within, CleanupUK achieves results that pure enforcement cannot achieve.

We live in an ever more consumerist society with litter being an ugly product of a buy-use-discard mentality. Tackling litter issues goes to the heart of how we live – it is about loving and caring for your neighbourhood, having consideration for others around you and generations that will come after us.
