It’s an honour to join the board of Voluntary directors and to play a part in the ongoing growth and development of RAW People. Over the past two years, I’ve watched RAW People evolve and have often popped in to lend a hand, so I’m thrilled to now be officially part of the team. My passion for our community runs deep, and I believe in the power of connection and support. Like many, I’ve faced difficult times and personal grief. I threw myself into my work to cope, but thanks to the constant support of my wife, I’ve come to better understand the importance of mental health, not just for myself, but for my family and especially my two sons. That journey has given me insight I hope can support others who may be navigating similar experiences. I’m truly excited about what lies ahead and look forward to contributing to the future of RAW People in any way I can
