Meet The Team

Risha is the beating heart of the team, feisty, passionate,  classic ADHD'er and always up to something!! She's a live wire this one, but is actually quite shy, has impostor syndrome and prefers being outside in the garden on her own to a room full of people. 

​

Hendrix is the thinker of the team, calm in a crisis, Risha's side kick 

​

When they're not working they follow the Manchester United Women's team up and down the country! 

Hannah started volunteering in 2016 and quickly became an integral part of the team! She has worked her way from drop-in staff, to part of the senior leadership team.  She's a guest favourite, always ready to help, especially if there is a dog involved!

Deep thinker and devoted to her family! You can usually find Hannah wandering Market Street looking for someone to check on them. 

Sam is another member of the team who has been with us from the start. She just randomly appeared at the first street kitchen and has been appearing pretty much everyday since! She is an incredible member of the team and If she's not at work supporting our guests and helping them find their voice she's either running, riding roller coasters or planning her wedding to Robert Downy Junior.   

She's basically a fan girl with the biggest heart! 

Bez has been the C4C patron and proud supporter since 2014. In our opinion he never gets enough credit for what a kind man he is! He genuinely cares about people, he goes out of his way to make people smile and would honestly give you the shirt off his back. When he's not touring, goggle box'n or DJ'ing he can be found bee keeping, honey collecting and growing food.

He's our Bez't mate and all round superstar! 

Liz has volunteered with us from the beginning. We 'persuaded' her out of retirement to keep the accounts in order. She will spend hours looking for the missing 5 pence on a receipt and is always the first to say how easy it was in the age of paper forms for the TAX office and wishes we could use a double entry ledger book!! Liz also drives up and down the region collecting donations. 

When she's not chasing receipts or collecting donations she can be found in the standing/singing section at Old Trafford.

Sam has been around since the beginning, he helped cook at the meal in Cardiff to celebrate Craig's life and has taken on various volunteer roles over the years before finally applying for a job on the team in 2023.

He is passionate about self development, mindfulness and can quite often be found in a headstand doing yoga!!  

Billy is the data man, he can tell you how many visited our service, who they were and knows each guest by name and probably remembers their shoe size!! He has a big heart for the work he does which is a good job as he was originally employed as a cleaner/care taker and has found his passion! 

But he's into some very questionable music! He also has a habit of wearing odd shoes. 

Marie arrived along with Sam on the first street kitchen in 2014. She is always there ready to greet our guests with a smile and will do whatever is needed to make the drop-in run smoothly. She's a dedicated member of the team who will roll her sleeves up, rope her kids in and get involved in any fundraising activity. A fan of snow globes and is usually found changing the TV channel to F.R.I.E.N.D.S although we're not really sure if she is more Phoebe or Monica?  

Biscuit is the office mascot, she owns Hendrix and is always found at his feet curled up waiting for him to move so she can follow. She loves Hendrix, chicken and going on walks with her cat, yes she has a cat called Cat and they've been together for 8 years now. She only comes to work when Hendrix is there. 

James is our most incredible volunteer who comes in twice a week to work with the team to help prep the food, put the stock away and he keeps us smiling. 

James is also a TikTok star with his attempt at being the first Worlds Strongest Man with autisim. He can currently lift 250lb We have zero doubts that he can do it!! You should see how quickly he can carry the deliveries up the stairs! James is our superstar!!
