Meet The Charity Directors

James Jukes MBE

UK Homes 4 Heroes Pride & Passion

CEO and director

founded the charity due to the plight of our Homeless Ex-Service Personnel on

St Georges Day 23rd April 2010,

due to friend who served with the Rifle Regiment

this lad was severely injured in Iraq in 2007

after an IED struck the convoy he was in

whilst on patrol.

Jimmy's friend left the Army in 2009 and after a family dispute he found himself homeless and forced to live on the streets.

This was quickly picked up by Jimmy and he arranged with the lad to go to Southwark council homeless unit in London to see if the Council could help this lad with the issues he was now facing alone and on the streets, to cut a long story short the answer was NO he was classed has not Vulnerable and did not meet the Councils criteria, after being angered and ashamed of the way a young man who nearly got killed whilst serving his Country was being treated that prompted Jimmy to come up with idea of forming UK Homes 4 heroes and now over 15 years later the registered charity is still going strong.

Barry Albin-Dyer OBE

Barry George Albin-Dyer OBE

2 February 1951 – 6 June 2015) was an undertaker whose firm F.A. Albin and Sons were known for their work repatriating the bodies of servicemen killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The firm also arranged many high-profile funerals, including actor Donald Pleasence and television personality Jade Goody.[1]

Albin-Dyer was born Barry George Dyer in London. His father was an undertaker. He took over the firm Albin and Sons in 1986, and subsequently changed his own surname to Albin-Dyer. He resisted lucrative offers from large funeral companies who wanted to buy F.A.Albin and Sons, preferring to remain independent. He was a well-known figure in the Bermondsey area of London, where the firm were based, and in connection with his military work at Royal Wootton Bassett and Brize Norton.[1]

In mid-2003, F.A. Albin and Sons and its staff alongside Albin-Dyer, were featured in an ITV television series titled Don't Drop the Coffin, which followed the daily working lives of its staff from late 2002 to early 2003. It was also one of the most talked-about programmes of the year. The title is inspired, by the first piece of advice Albin-Dyer's father gave him when he started out in the undertaker's business. The series was inspired by a book of the same name Albin-Dyer previously released, with ITV later repackaging the book with additional material on the making of the series.

Albin-Dyer was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2010 Birthday Honours.[2]

He died from brain cancer on 6 June 2015, aged 64.[3][4] He was a Roman Catholic convert.[5] In tribute, Digital television channel London Live repeated Don't Drop the Coffin in full, having already repeated the series in January of that year.
