Charlie
Founding Director, Facilitator
Charlie founded The Pelican Project in 2017. A qualified teacher, Charlie has worked across a range of mainstream and specialist educational settings, including within the Further Education department of an Exeter-based special school supporting young people transitioning into adult life. Here, Charlie led the development of sensory-based curricula for learners with complex needs.
The foundations of The Pelican Project were shaped through Charlie’s work in supported living and 1:1 care alongside people from the learning-disabled community. This direct support work continues alongside his leadership of the organisation and remains fundamental to his practice.
Alongside leading the organisation’s strategic development, Charlie co-designs and delivers projects with community partners and continues to facilitate across the wider Pelican programme.
