Our Trustees
​​

​Fred Morgan - Treasurer (Temp Joint Chair)
Fred  is an English teacher of 12 years experience in the state sector and so understands how vital it is to the success of young people and families to have a safe and nurturing space outside of the classroom where they can be supported.  As a life long resident of Shepherd's Bush, he was aware of the vital work SBFP did in the local community before becoming a trustee in 2018.  Since working more closely with the committed team and families at SBFP, he has been even more impressed by the positive impact the charity has on so many people's lives.
Saliha Djebbar
Saliha became acquainted with SBFP&CC in 2012 through the drop-in service that she attended with her son. Impressed by the project's mission & community support, Saliha wanted to learn more about SBFP's goals, and how she could provide assistance as a parent using the service.  In her native home of Algeria, Saliha worked with children & taught Darija (the Algerian dialect of Arabic), whilst studying for her undergraduate in English. Passionate about supporting the development of children, she is now a teaching assistant at Wood Lane School - a role that brings her immense joy. She adores birds (but believes they should be free to fly) and is fond of her indoor plants.
​George Oliver
George is an experienced Maths teacher, who has lived in South-West London for over 30 years. His three daughters all attended state secondary schools in Hammersmith and Shepherd’s Bush. George has been involved in various initiatives to support vulnerable people in London. These include Glass Door which provides temporary shelter for the homeless in local churches and Housing Justice which provides accommodation for asylum seekers and various other groups. He has served as the deputy chair of governors of a local primary school. George is keen to get involved and support the tremendous work done by the team at SBFP in providing important services to local families.
