Meet the judges

Nicola-Barclay-hh
Having been involved in building a new home for Habitat in Mumbai, I recognise that one of the main requirements of any shelter is the ability to keep out the rain. As a judge I will be particularly interested in the teams’ abilities to create a structure that will protect them from the elements. Additionally, I will be looking for strong evidence of teamwork and collaboration. Nicola Barclay (Chief Executive, Homes for Scotland)
Tum-Kazunga
As a charity, we always use locally available material and sustainable building techniques. Similarly, for Hope Challenge I will be looking for a functional use of sustainable material and design. The work should also be reflective of Habitat for Humanity's ethos of efficiently working together. Tum Kazunga (CEO, Habitat for Humanity GB)
Mike Habitat Build Phnom Penh Cambodia
UK Home Builders, through Hope Challenge fundraising, are making a change beyond belief to those in abject housing poverty, to their health, hope, safety and happiness. Mike Freshney (Board Member at Habitat for Humanity GB, Ex-Chairman Home Builders Federation)
