Meet The Team
Founder and CEO

Naima Ben-Moussa
Naima is a survivor-turned-advocate who has dedicated her life to supporting domestic abuse survivors. Growing up, Naima witnessed her mother endure physical abuse and suffered abuse herself at the hands of her mother’s husbands. These experiences resulted in Naima and her siblings being placed in foster care. As a teenager, she faced further trauma, including sexual abuse and rape. The emotional pain led her to self-medicate with drugs and attempt suicide three times.
Despite her traumatic past, Naima found the strength to persevere and transform her personal suffering into purposeful social action. As a trained plasterer, she began offering practical assistance to domestic abuse survivors, such as painting, plastering and home repairs, in an effort to create safe environments for them and their children. Through Rebuilding Lives UK Naima continues to support survivors in their journey to reclaim their lives, address post-abuse vulnerabilities, set new goals, and, ultimately, thrive.
Naima’s work with Rebuilding Lives UK has been recognized in numerous media appearances, including BBC Radio 2 ‘s Jeremy Vine show, BBC Northampton, BBC Derby, Radio Derbyshire, Steph’s Packed Lunch (Channel 4), and the Russell Howard TV Show. She has received several awards, including the Trade Hero Award, Plasterer of the Year, and a Special Recognition Award. Naima was also nominated for the Women of the Year Award.

Nikita Mckee
Nikita has many years of experience in the Health and Social Care field and extensive project management experience within the domestic abuse sector.
Domestic abuse is a cause that has always been close to Nikita’s heart. This emotional affinity is the motivating factor behind her decision to join the Rebuild Lives UK Trustee team and contribute to the success of the charity with her determination, leadership skills and her positive, vibrant energy.
In her spare time Nikita enjoys badminton, kickboxing, yoga and mindfulness, as she finds that these activities challenge her mentally and physically but also provide her with the opportunity to relax and reflect. She also enjoys reading and her most recent favourites are: “Humble Enquiry: The gentle Art of Asking instead of Telling”, by Edgar H. Shine and “The Body Keeps the Score”, by Bessel van der Kolk.

Lindsey Robinson
Lindsey’s relationship with Rebuilding Lives UK started during lockdown. One day she was working from home and listening to the Jeremy Vine show on BBC Radio 2. Jeremy was interviewing the ‘Lady in Red’ plasterer. Naima was talking about her lived experience of domestic abuse and how having recently met other people with similar traumatic experiences motivated her to utilise her trade to rebuild their homes and help them start a new life.
Lindsey was really inspired not only by Naima’s journey but also her determination to create a safe environment for people and families who had experienced domestic abuse. She decided to message Naima right then and there and the rest is history.
Lindsey has worked in the third sector for 26 years. In the last 20 years she has been collaborating with the P3 Charity in varied roles. Currently, Lindsey is managing accommodation-based services in the Northwest region and Stoke-on-Trent for young people and adults experiencing accommodation challenges and having nowhere to call home. In addition, she is the leader of a core department that supports the charity’s strategy and delivery around involvement and engagement and is responsible for P3’s national programme for volunteers. Lindsey also promotes collaboration and coproduction and is passionate about people with lived experience shaping service delivery.

Abdul Mozzamdar
Abdul has been championing Social Mobility and Early Careers for 20 years. In the past, he has held senior positions at CITB, Kier Group and run his own consultancy business for 2 years, advising clients on Social Mobility, Early Careers, Strategy and Operational delivery and ED&I.
Abdul’s most recent position as Group Social Value Director at PSR Group has seen him take his knowledge and experiences into a whole new arena of ‘purpose driven’ recruitment, to fill the ever-growing skills gaps here, in the UK. In 2019, PSR Group launched Build a Career, which Abdul is currently managing. Build a Career exists to support those who are most vulnerable and / or on the fringes of society, so that they get into sustainable employment.
So, why does Abdul do what he does? His own words speak volumes: “I will fight injustice and inequality wherever I see it. I want to give the voiceless a platform and opportunities to live a happy and fulfilled life, ultimately their best life. I want to give them hope. The best feeling in the world is putting a smile on somebody else’s face. Knowing that my efforts could bring some light in somebody’s darkest hour fills me with immense joy”.

Lovina Raymond
Lovina has worked as a communications expert in the private sector for over a decade and is currently working as a communications lead for the Group Technology division at Barclays. She has also worked for other multinational corporates including Bosch and SKF in the past.
Having personal experience of domestic abuse, Lovina believes that protecting survivors of domestic violence is a matter of public safety and social justice. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that everybody can live in an environment where they feel safe, whilst also providing the holistic support for survivors of domestic violence to thrive.
This is what encouraged her to serve as a trustee and she hopes to leverage her lived experience and professional skills to help further the goals of Rebuilding Lives UK.
