Victor Adebowale

Victor Adebowale, also known as Baron Adebowale, is best known for his noble and undaunted contribution to society, particularly his service and support to the less fortunate members of our community. In 2001, Adebowale became the CEO of Turning Point, an organisation focusing on health and social care in the UK. Turning point is a charity which runs projects across 240 locations in the UK, helping those who suffer with mental health issues, substance misuse, learning disabilities and many more.

Adebowale has been involved with advising the government on mental health and is also the co-chair of the Black and Minority Ethnic Mental Health National Steering group, a support organisation helping guide those who suffer in society due to their race. He was one of the first to become a People’s Peer and was awarded a CBE for his services to the homeless and unemployed.

Adebowale’s magnanimous career has seen him appointed as director of the Alcohol recovery project, followed by Chief Executive of Centrepoint, a charity based in the UK supporting homeless people between the ages of 16-25. Prince William is a Patron of Centrepoint and prior to this was his Mother, Princess Diana before she died. Adebowale was born to Nigerian parents, both of which worked for the NHS, setting an undoubtable positive influence and environment for Adebowale to thrive from.
