NIGEAL ANDALL was born in the UK of Trinidadian parents and is a graduate of the Chartered Management Institute UK. He is a social entrepreneur who is governed by ethical and Christian values and who has a heart for 'Community at its best'. Nigeal’s passion for working with marginalised communities grew even more as he witnessed the injustices to which many were subjected while he was working in the community as a frontline Police Officer with the Metropolitan Police Service for four years. This role sharpened his perception in identifying diverse community social needs and increased his ability in being proactive in addressing them The balance of his personal empathy and analytical skills has been reflected in the array of projects which he has initiated to effect social change through cultivating positive citizens, emerging from marginalised communities. Marked out by his clear vision for transformation of communities, excluding none, his leadership, determination, and resourcefulness has brought about and continues to bring about social change with lasting value. Nigeal is the founder of Grace Ministries which was born out of the desire to assist offenders, ex-offenders and their families through a Resettlement Programme. More recently Nigeal has established Urban Youth Flex Ltd., which is geared specifically to working with young people who are deemed to be at risk of social exclusion from main stream provision and his very own C.H.O.I.C.E.S programme is a radical outreach geared to help young people fulfil their potential. Nigeal is also the founder and Managing Director of ‘The Learning Consortium UK and Urban Youth Flex Ltd’ which was set up with a shared vision and passion to improve the lives of young people and their families who are from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds through inspirational and transformational learning approaches. Nigeal has been highly enthusiastic about giving marginalised communities a loud, clear voice across the airwaves and has therefore set up a unique radio station which focuses on the removal of self-imposed limitations which prevent them from progressing and being positive citizens. Nigeal was also an active member of the BRITISH CARIBBEAN ASSOCIATION  in which he was appointed the position of  National  Youth Coordinator for the Youth council In this role  he has  been fulfilling the mandate of  bridging the  gap between former members of past generations  and those young people who form part of the next generation of British  Caribbean people. The purpose of this mandate is to strive for improved social and and economic benefits as we face up to the challenges of the 21st Century with the changes in the global economic environment. Nigeal continues daily to exhibit great zeal in promoting a lifestyle which incorporates  social justice, equality and acknowledgement that all people of every origin and background residing in this country are to enjoy  equality in rights, duties,  privileges  and opportunities in a dignified manner.
