We Are UTCAI - The Team

Patrick Hutchinson

Co - Founder / Director

A highly-experienced personal trainer and Martial Artist, Patrick has a long history of community work with adults and young people, including sports coaching. He is also the co-founder of the Health & Wellness brand pHKind delivering scientifically backed vitamins and supplements to the public.

A passionate advocate for children and young people, Patrick is a father and grandfather, dedicated to shaping a brighter future for all young people in the UK.

On 13th June 2020, Patrick and his friends were compelled to intervene in an incident which would subsequently change the course of their lives and captivate and inspire huge numbers of people around the world.

During the peaceful Black Lives Matter protests of June 2020 that followed the murder of George Floyd, a group of far right counter-protesters came to London hurling hateful comments and aggression towards the Black Lives Matter protesters.

During the incident one far right counter-protester was left stranded and slumped over on the ground, his condition deteriorating very quickly.

Patrick intervened, picked him up and carried him to safety, an action that has been captured in an award-winning, instantly-recognisable image that has made impact around the world. This was an act of basic humanity that saved a life, which propelled Patrick to the national and international stage.

Today, Patrick is a published author with his book ‘Everyone Versus Racism - A letter to my children’ which was released in Nov 2020 and has become an Amazon best seller.

He also continues his work with young people as a founding member of UTCAI.
