Floyd Steadman
Floyd Steadman went to Kingsbury High School, Wembley. He had a difficult childhood and grew up in care. Told he should train to ‘work with his hands’, instead he insisted on taking A levels so he could become a teacher. As one of the few Black players in English club rugby, he was named Saracens captain at the age of 23 and played a leading role in the club’s progress during the 1980s. After retiring from rugby, he became an inspiring teacher.

Fr Stuart Melchor
My name is Stuart Melchor and I currently hold the position of Curate at St Joseph the Worker, Northolt. I was brought up in Harlesden, North West London. My parents were part of the Windrush generation where Christianity was an integral part of life meaning that I was brought up in the Church. Typically as a teen and a young man I broke away at the earliest opportunity.
