The greatest asset of a charity is its people!
We are extremely proud to have an excellent Board of Trustees, bringing a diversity of skills and experience, along with a track record as a catalyst for driving change to benefit Barka UK and its service users.
Barka UK is a registered charity and is governed by a Board of Trustees. The organisation is always looking for talented and dedicated people to join our Board of Trustees. In particular, individuals with finance, fundraising, legal, immigration, communications/media, and social enterprise backgrounds experience are being sought.
Our team prides itself on the work it does to change the lives of some of the most marginalised people in our society. Our outreach teams have the necessary language and cultural skills to communicate with the CEE rough sleepers and first-hand experience of life on the streets.
Barka UK owes much of its success to employing ex-service users and its close links to the network of homelessness services that we have built within CEE countries, which ensure that those who return home are placed within a supportive environment to prevent a return to the streets.
