Our Team

Gerrar Ahmed

Programme Manager for the Building Better Opportunities, Refugees into Sustainable Employment  (BBO RISE) programme. 

My experience and skills

I have over 10 years’ experience within the welfare to work industry. I have worked on numerous ESF and GLA-funded programmes. Currently, I manage our grant-funded project RISE, helping over 900 participants across 10 boroughs in North/North East London, and lead the team of Employment Advisors and Outreach Officers.

My interests

I love all things science fiction. A complete Star Trek/Wars nut (I adore them both equally). An avid cook and will try my hand on anything once. I like to travel but hate to fly.
