Meet The Team

Kim

 I joined Bardsley in May 2021.  I have over 30 years experience of working with homeless people in Coventry, London and Great Yarmouth.  Having known the team at Bardsley through my work in hostels, I am very excited to have the opportunity to join them and to continue to support the young people of Coventry to achieve their goals in life.

Rachel

I joined the project as a young person. Bardsley gave me stability and social support I needed to keep chipping away at things and move forward.

I went on to complete my college education and my university degrees in Psychology. During my studies I made the most of optional modules and training related to business psychology and service marketing. I also volunteered with the project assisting at youth groups, community events and helping Bardsley develop a social media presence.

I transitioned to the paid staff team towards the end of my studies, working for over 4 years as Communications and Fundraising Worker.

Now I am employed by the Charity as  their Communications and Fundraising Co-Ordinator. I enjoy my role thoroughly as it enables me to combine lived experience with my professional training, in a way that  is beneficial for the young people of Coventry today. 

Becky

I first came to Bardsley when I was 13. As a young person it gave me a safe place to hang out with my friends. When I was 17 I joined the team in a voluntary capacity and later became part of the employed team.  

PETE

I’ve been with Bardsley since December 2025 although I have had a long association with both the people who founded the organisation & with some of those who it has helped throughout its history.  I’ve previously worked as a fundraiser for several charities & am happy to be here to help young people change their lives.

Eric

Bardsley becomes family and friend to many young people, often innocent victims of times of great need and stress. These young people are assisted and supported by a caring and dedicated team with years of experience and knowledge. Eric joined Bardsley to support staff and volunteers in further enhancing the lives of our young people and of those we are yet to meet. Eric has many years experience in groups working with young people and in Corporate Management in Health, Education and Commerce in UK and overseas.
