We're delighted to announce Nirmalan Kugathasan as Interim Chief Executive from 3rd April, succeeding Abi Carter, who is moving to St Luke’s Community Centre. Nirmalan has been Share’s CFO since 2007, and has overseen major financial growth. Over the next six months, he will focus on stability, staff support, and delivering high-quality opportunities for students.

Community Café students Paula and Zain had an amazing four-day work experience with Jimmy Garcia Catering, baking, cooking, and helping in a professional kitchen. They gained valuable hands-on skills while having loads of fun. Zain said, 'I really enjoyed it… I’d love to come back one day.' A big thank you to the Jimmy Garcia team for supporting our students!

We've been rediscovering the joy of play! Our students have been enjoying creative workshops with Youyang as part of Wandsworth Council’s Culturally Mindful programme. Through playful games and reflective activities, students have explored their creativity by expressing themselves through movement, improv, and even clowning!

We’re adding two new courses later in the Spring. Our new Citizenship programme helps students aged 18-30 plan their next steps and build practical skills in employment, independent living, friendships, and wellbeing. And our Drama course offers a fun, creative space to explore storytelling, improvisation and performance, helping students build confidence, communication skills and self-expression.

We're looking for trustees to join our board and help steer our strategy, guide key decisions, and contribute to our future direction. If you'd like to contribute your experience and ideas to make a meaningful difference, then we'd love to hear from you.
