This episode shines a light on Barons Court Project, a West London charity offering holistic support to people facing homelessness or mental health challenges. Director Michael Angus shares how the centre provides showers, meals, emotional care, and life skills programmes — all rooted in dignity and hope.

We also hear from Guan, an artist whose journey from homelessness to creative expression led to Rainbow Tree, now a bestselling greetings card. His story embodies the spirit of Barons Court Project and their HomeLess Made social enterprise, which empowers artists through meaningful work.

With over 200 residents supported each year and a vibrant calendar of workshops, peer groups, and community outings, Barons Court Project is a beacon of compassion and creativity. Their ethos: “loving people who may not love themselves.”
