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.

Tim
Social Enterprise Manager
Having worked at various charities and doing volunteer work at Barons Court Project previously, I joined the team as Social Enterprise Manager in 2022. I have seen a lot of the benefits of BCP, enriching the guests with positivity and helping them on their individual journeys. I spend a lot of time working with the artists of the HomeLess Made collective and have been developing all sorts of exciting projects for them to grow on their artistic endeavours. Outside of BCP I love to go to the cinema, enjoy reading, writing and keeping fit.

I have experience working in education, healthcare, non-profits and government with people from diverse backgrounds, and am so excited to be working with the lovely guests at BCP. In my spare time, I love travelling to new places and meeting new people, and enjoy books, lifting weights and RnB/rap music.

I started at Barons Court Project in September 2023. I’m a support worker and although it’s demanding, I find this role fulfilling. I have a background in American history and politics, and my life goal is to contribute to the betterment of our communities.

Simon
Chef
I returned to the charity sector during the COVID lockdown and feel extremely privileged to be cooking for the guests at Barons Court Project. The project relies on food donations so it often feels like I’m a contestant on ‘Ready Steady Cook’ trying to come up with interesting recipes with random ingredients! I live close to a beach in Essex and in my spare time I enjoy taking my dog Piper for walks along the coast.

Agata Elliott
I am a senior leader with over 15 years of experience in developing, growing and managing all fundraising activities across various income streams including Trusts and Foundations, Corporate Partnerships, Individual Giving, Major Donors, Digital Fundraising/Marketing and Events. I am a member of the Senior Management Team, holding a position of a Head of Fundraising at Single Homeless Project. Working within the homelessness sector over the last six years has helped me to build up my knowledge and understanding of the pressures our clients are facing and has strengthened my belief that with the right tools and investment, homelessness can be ended. I am very excited to be able to support Barons Court Project with their aim to enable everyone to live the life they deserve.

Sue Fennimore
I’ve lived in the area for over forty years, bringing up my two children here and I worked for the BBC for a large part of my career. In 2014, I was privileged to be elected as a local councillor and served as the deputy leader of Hammersmith and Fulham council with responsibilities for social inclusion, crime and homelessness, until 2022. Barons Court Project stood out as an outstanding organisation working tirelessly to support its service users and so I was delighted to join the board after retiring. I was a member of the Lyric Theatre board for eight years, school governor and a volunteer for the youth offending service. I’m a keen football fan and spend much of my time with my rescue dog who is convinced that squirrels are the enemy.
