Biographies
Gill FitzHugh MBE

Head of The Walmer Road School

"I have lived in North Kensington for over 30 years.
For the first 10 years I taught History at North Westminster Community School and was their Head of Community Development. I became involved in The Portobello Project at that time and became Chair of The Project.
The Project was an advice and information service for young people in North Kensington and around 400-500 visited us for help every week. It was through them that The Portobello Trust (1986) and Portobello Houseshare (1992) were set up. The Trust helped young unemployed people into work and Houseshare solved the problems of homeless young people in the area.
In 1992 I took on the job of Director of The Tabernacle and raised £4,600,000 for its development as a Community Arts Centre.
In 2000, I moved from being Chair of Trustees of The Trust and Houseshare, to being the CEO of both the organizations and planned the merger of the two charities with the Rugby Clubs in October 2003.
I am a widow with two children, a foster daughter and six grandchildren, and was awarded the MBE in 2001.
