John Barrett (Project Manager/Coordinator)
After leaving university in 2005 and a brief stint in the fashion retail industry, John joined the Directory of Social Change as their Fundraising Websites Coordinator working closely with trust and corporate fundraisers. It was during his time there that he met Patrick Cox (the charity's founder) and begun volunteering for the Small Charities Coalition. Inevitably it wasn't long before John was pinched by Patrick to join the Coalition as their full-time coordinator.
John is a keen socialiser and avid sportsman (however finds himself being more the spectator and less the participator). He counts listening to music, attempting to play music, reading, walks in the hills and stamps as his hobbies. He has no children but three untidy housemates to keep him busy.

James Bull (Volunteer)
James is what every charity needs: the perfect volunteer! He has been with us for over a year now and contributes to every facet of the organisation.
His educational background is in the natural sciences and considers gigging, painting and watching Disney/Pixar movies as his passion, hobby and secret obsession (respectively).
