Our Staff

NIKKI, DIRECTOR

Nikki supervises all the work of C4WS Homeless Project, providing the direction and vision of C4WS alongside its Trustees.

She oversees the Welfare Team in the provision of welfare support for all our guests. This is inclusive of move on plans into secure and stable housing and the Next Steps programme to provide continuation of support once someone is in their new home.

She oversees the work of the Operations Team in the provision of the Winter Night Shelter and supporting activities, such as the Jobs Club, English Classes, Friday Club, Home from Home and Sunday Club.

Nikki also heads up the fundraising for C4WS Homeless Project, and manages our corporate partnerships.

Marc, EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT COORDINATOR

Marc runs the Jobs Club which helps guests become job-ready and obtain training, employment and volunteering positions. He also runs our English Classes, Conversation Club and Mentoring and Befriending Scheme.

In addition, Marc provides support during the shelter season to the team as a whole, and is an invaluable part of the service we provide to our guests.

Lorraine, SHELTER COORDINATOR

Lorraine manages the logistics of our winter night shelter which involves coordinating volunteers from a dozen parishes. She liaises with our referral agencies and is the main point of contact for our shelter.

She also manages our weekly drop in, Friday Club, liaising with local corporate organisations who come in and cook a hot meal for our members.

Curd, WELFARE COORDINATOR

Our Welfare Coordinator makes up one half of our Welfare Team, supporting guests to achieve their desired next steps in terms of housing and wellbeing.

They also coordinate our Home From Home hosting project, which sees guests paired with hosts who are able to offer a spare room.

 

Rahel, PROJECT WORKER

Rahel manages our Sunday Club - a weekly drop-in service for our shelter guests which provides a space for guests to step away from the demands of the week to relax, do their laundry and ultimately refresh themselves ready for the week ahead.

Rahel also assists with the move on for our guests into their new accommodation, helping them to settle in and providing starter packs of food and essential household items.

Rahel also provides support during the shelter season to the team as a whole, taking part in weekly shifts at the shelter.
