He is an actor, leadership development consultant and social activist. Education{{BLP unsourced section|date=April 2019}}Hughes was educated at The King's School, Ottery St Mary, Devon. He then attended Exeter College of Art and Design, where he received a Dip AD in Fine Art, followed by three years professional theatre training at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. CareerAn actor from 1972 to 1992, he enjoyed seasons at the National Theatre, Bristol Old Vic [1] and Stephen Joseph Theatre (while Alan Ayckbourn was Artistic Director), [2] as well as regional repertory, national tours and London and Edinburgh Fringe. He also has TV, Film and Commercials credits [3]. Hughes's social activism began while at Exeter College of Art and Design (1968), where he was president of the CND student group. In 1985, responding to the many inflammatory headlines of the time such as the Daily Mail’s ‘Britain threatened by gay virus plague’,[4] Hughes created Northern Lights Trust UK [5] to support people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS. This work took him through Europe, the US and Australasia. He decided to step back from acting in 1989 when he set up ‘’Green Light Productions’’ [6]. with his husband, the playwright Ric Edelman. Together they produced environmental dramas both in the UK and Papua New Guinea. The charity helped to conserve threatened tropical rainforest through the medium of drama. ‘’Green Light Productions’’ led to the formation of Green Light Trust [7], an environmental charity which aims to educate and inspire people in the UK to reconnect to nature. Hughes led Green Light Trust for 25 years until handing over the reins 2014. As a founding associate and director of leadership at Maynard Leigh Associates (established 1989), Hughes works globally as an inspirational speaker, leadership coach and mentor. [8] In 2018 Hughes set up the new initiative, Outstanding.Global,[9] as a response to the (second) repeal of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code in India in September 2018 [10].

[13] Green Light TrustIn 1989 Hughes and Edelman trekked through primary rainforest in Papua New Guinea. In response to the deforestation they witnessed there, they set up the charity Green Light Trust. 18 [14]. Their aim was to alert the indigenous population to what was happening in their forests and to their choices for the future, setting up self-sustaining projects to protect traditional ways of life and allow the indigenous population to remain independent of international corporations and large scale forestry. Hughes and Edelman developed a series of drama workshops which were taken into schools in 11 counties throughout England, Wales and Scotland. They produced a series of environmental dramas in partnership with the Papua New Guinean Raun Isi Theatre Company, which they toured to rainforest communities in the remote Hunstein Range, Upper Sepik by dugout canoe [6]. In response to their experience in Papua New Guinea, Hughes and Edelman also initiated Forest for Our Children 20 [15], a community woodland in their village of Lawshall, Suffolk. The woodland still maintains links with indigenous groups in Papua New Guinea. Forest For Our Children – ‘woodland by and for the community’ - is the model for 60 other community woodland projects in the UK [16].
