Trustees
I’m passionate about creating spaces where people feel connected, valued, and able to thrive. With over 20 years’ experience across leadership, coaching, marketing, and communications.
As Director of Coaching & Culture at Diverse Futures, I support young adults from diverse and low-income backgrounds to access meaningful careers, while helping employers engage with untapped talent. Alongside this, I coach with Spark Inside, using transformational coaching to empower individuals and support positive change within the criminal justice system.
I’m proud to serve as a Trustee at Brickworks Community Centre, supporting its mission to strengthen belonging and create opportunities for our local community. Guided by values of authenticity, equity, and connection, I believe lasting change happens when people are supported to grow – individually and together.

Micky is our treasurer. He lives a five-minute walk from Brickworks, and is a qualified chartered accountant. He currently works in a compliance role for an American technology company. Outside work, he is a local authority-appointed governor at North Islington Nursery, an activist in Islington North Labour Party and a permanently disappointed Tottenham Hotspur fan.
Trustees
For as long as I can remember, I have been passionate about helping others and supporting them to become their best selves. That
passion has led me to work for over 15 years with children and young people in a range of settings including supporting victims of crime, youth justice and more recently education in both charities and local authorities.
Having the benefit of being born and raised in the local area, I am able to bring both my personal experience (as a local resident and a parent) alongside my professional expertise to the trustee role. It is my pleasure to sit on the board of trustees for HCCA: Brickworks Community Centre is a true community space, bringing people from all walks of life in through its doors, representing the needs of local residents, working to influence change and deliver services that serve the diverse needs of the local Crouch Hill/Stroud Green/Tollington community (and beyond!).
Trustees
Steven has been working in community development and engagement for almost a decade. The Hanley Crouch Community Association has played a key role in my upbringing, and I still recall the days when we were the ‘Laundry Club’ based down the road. A lot of my childhood memories are associated with the time I spent at the youth club run by Hanley Crouch. It provided us with a space to connect with others, socialise and feel safe.
As the years went by and I grew into my adult years, I faced different challenges that could have been associated with my immediate environment within the community. Fortunately for me, I was able to overcome these challenges and go on to assume different roles, which include working in community development.
I have the opportunity to connect with members of the community on a regular basis which allows me to learn about challenges people face on a daily basis.
I am currently on the Board of Trustees and volunteer for the foodbank. I have an extensive background in sports, mental health, justice and advisory. My mission is to help tackle some of the social issues we face in our community and help inspire others lead better lives.
Trustees
I have been Islington North’s MP since 1983 and continue to love every minute of working locally, with the wonderful people of Islington North, in taking their needs to Parliament in order to bring about solutions for a safer, fairer and more equal world for all.
My priorities include anti-racism, anti imperialism, LGBT+ rights, transport, the environment, opposition to nuclear weapons and military intervention, Trade Union policies, Miscarriages of Justice and more. My international interests are widespread with particular attention to human rights, peace and justice. I’ve travelled widely and continue to support those areas and communities affected by unresolved conflict including the Western Sahara, West Papua, the Chagos Islands, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Ireland, West Papua, the Dalit community, the Rohingya.
Recipient of the 2017 Sean McBride Peace Prize and more.
Currently I’m a member of the Parliamentary Assembly for the Council of Europe, the UK Socialist Campaign Group, and a regular participant at the United Nations Human Rights Council (Geneva), Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (Vice President), the Chagos Islands All Party Parliamentary Group (Honorary President), and a vice-president of the British Group Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
