Our Team

Kamesha Taylor – Food Bank Manager.

I am a caring individual dedicated to my community and passionate about helping those in need. Since 2022, I have served as the manager of a wonderful food bank, where I work alongside inspiring volunteers and staff who share my commitment to making a positive impact. The connections I’ve built with those we serve bring me immense joy and fulfilment, as I contribute to uplifting others and fostering a strong spirit of support. Together, we are creating a brighter future, one meaningful act of kindness at a time.

Karoline Latchman – Resident Support Manager

Karoline has joined Fresh Horizons CNB after spending the last 7 years working for another homeless charity.
She is keen to use the knowledge and insights she has gained to support and help the residents move into long term accommodation, where they can sustain their tenancy and move forward with the lives they want to live. She is looking forward to building strong relationships with the residents and working with the other members of the team.

Olivier Uyttenhove – Chairman

I have worked for 3 decades as an Investment Banker, Risk Management Expert and Financial Consultant and have always felt the need to give something back to the community. For several years I have been Trustee and Treasurer of a Charity caring for
isolated people, as well as Financial Controller of a Baroque Orchestra. Following the lockdowns and an acute cost of living crisis, an increasing number of people are in dire need of help. This is why I decided to join Fresh Horizons, an inspiring Charity
reaching out to people who are at their most vulnerable. I believe that those who are fortunate enough have a responsibility towards Society.

Louis Gargour – Trustee

Louis brings over four decades of experience in running small businesses and leading teams in the UK financial services sector to his role as a trustee of Fresh Horizons CNB. He has been a mentor on a Prince’s Trust programme, guiding entrepreneurs who had received grants, through business planning, financial discipline and the realities of sustaining a venture. 

This hands-on mentoring experience deepened his belief that targeted support can change the trajectory of someone’s life.

Louis believes that homelessness is one of the biggest challenges facing society today, both for its devastating effect on individuals and its corrosive impact on communities and social cohesion.

Louis applies his experience to help shape the charity’s strategy, governance and approach to supporting those experiencing homelessness, ensuring that compassion is matched with practical, sustainable action.

Myrnel Abdullahi – Trustee Treasurer

Myrnel brings over 25 years of experience as a qualified accountant to support the charity’s mission of giving people a “Chance of a New Beginning.” In her role, she helps ensure the charity’s finances are managed responsibly and strategically, enabling it to provide accommodation, support, and opportunities for residents to rebuild their lives. Myrnel is deeply committed to helping Fresh Horizons CNB plan for a sustainable future so that its work can continue to transform lives for years to come.

Passionate about community impact, Myrnel combines her financial expertise with a strong sense of social responsibility and compassion. Beyond her role with Fresh Horizons CNB, she has been a foster carer for several years and volunteers with other local charities, supporting individuals and families through challenging times. These experiences continually remind her of the power of kindness, connection, and second chances. Myrnel is grateful to have the opportunity to contribute her skills and time to help others find stability, hope, and build a brighter future.
