Michael
Director
I have worked for charities for over 25 years, after completing my studies in Theology. Most of my work has been with people who are homeless and I have managed a number of hostels. I joined The Barons Court Project in 2014 and really enjoy my work leading the community here, it's a great privilege. In my spare time I enjoy travelling, meeting up with friends, occasionally cooking and love an evening out with Karaoke.
Ni Win
Financial Controller
Before I joined Barons Court Project in March 2017, I have over 10 years' experience in various business sectors including education, fashion, retail, wholesale and hospitality industries, but never in a non-profit organisation. It is a fantastic opportunity for me to work at BCP. This is because it provides me not only to gain valuable new work experience but also to make an invaluable contribution to help people in need. Here I meet with a great team of individuals who are working as a team to provide a great support to our service users. I am very grateful to be part of this. I really enjoy the friendly and supportive working environment here. When I am not working, I spend time with my family, hanging out with friends and I travel whenever I get the chance.
Liam
Recovery & Abstinence Coordinator
I am a drug and alcohol practitioner with over 15 years’ experience working with vulnerable people. I facilitate the Recovery and Abstinence group on Saturdays at the project. I am an amateur dramatist and have been involved with various acting companies. In my spare time I like to listen to a bit of jazz.
Josh
Fundraising Manager
Having had a career in the charity sector for several years, I’m very excited to be working with the Barons Court Project; a charity that has a remarkable impact on the local community. My role is to help spread the word about the BCP and to raise support for the incredible work that goes on here. I’m a former member of one of the only ukulele bands to come out of the West Midlands and an increasingly despondent supporter of Ipswich Town F.C.
Tim
Having worked at various charities and doing volunteer work at Barons Court Project previously, I am delighted to now have the opportunity to work in the project. I have seen a lot of the benefits of BCP, enriching the guests with positivity and helping them on their individual journeys. I enjoy seeing the development of the guests as they thrive in the community of the day centre. Outside of BCP I also do acting where I work professionally in theatre, film and TV. In my spare time I like to travel, run and write.
Board of Trustees
Andrew Magowan
Chair
I’ve been a Hammersmith resident since the first day I came to London from my native Northern Ireland over 20 years ago, and to see first-hand the real difference the talented and committed team here at The Barons Court Project make to many deserving people from our local community is both humbling and inspiring.
I have fifteen years’ experience in senior executive legal and compliance roles with different global businesses and, together with my fellow Trustees, it’s a real privilege to be able to use our skills, experience and external viewpoint to help support and guide Michael and his team in their vital work for everyone who visits the Project. It is a responsibility that we don’t take lightly, especially as the pressures our service users face continue to grow in these challenging economic and political times. But it is a responsibility that we all immensely enjoy and are proud to have been given. I spend the rest of my time on surfboards, in theatres, on golf courses, or walking, especially back home in “Norn Iron”.
Jamie Mills
Is the Business Development and Fundraising Director for SHP, a large London based homeless charity where he has worked for over 10 years. Prior to joining SHP Jamie was a Probation Officer and he still retains an active interest in the criminal justice system, particularly in relation to the role third sector organisations and community groups can play in breaking the cycle of offending. He became a trustee in 2017 having seen the valuable work the project does with vulnerable people, many with complex needs, in Hammersmith & Fulham.
Sarah Booth
Following a degree and a masters in Evolutionary Psychology, I moved into a career in communications and have spent the last 12 years working as a Brand Strategist. I am passionate about the power of strategic brand thinking to move organisations forwards to great success and have done this successfully for a wealth of businesses, government organisations and charities. Having lived in Barons Court since 2013 I am thrilled to be able to apply my expertise to this amazing organisation and hope I can help make a real difference to the fortunes of the Barons Court Project
Debra Holt
My first professional role after graduating from Liverpool University in 1995 was working with vulnerable people who were experiencing a multitude of physical, mental and social care issues. I continued on this career path and now have over 25 years working in this sector. I have a passion and commitment for social justice and strive to improve the lives of vulnerable people, improving outcomes and reducing inequalities in our society.
I have spent many years working in the third sector initially as a practitioner then moving onto senior management roles. I now have a joint role as Assistant Director working for Camden Clinical Commissioning Group and Camden Borough Council commissioning services for people with mental health, learning disabilities and homelessness. I am honoured to have joined the board of Trustees here at Barons Court Project and hope to support the project in making a real difference to local residents.
Andrew McColl
I'm a commercial and compliance lawyer who has worked in technology companies and the oil and gas industry. I've been a local resident for 12 years and wanted to use my corporate experience to benefit the community, and help Michael and the team achieve their goals for the Project.
