Hi, I’m Steve – I am so pleased to join RAW People as a Mental Health Peer Support Worker. I feel I have a wide knowledge of experience of working within the community after spending the last 14 years in either a community engagement position or as an NHS advocate. I believe that my own experience of mental health illness and recovery process gives me an empathetic understanding and insight into this role, and I genuinely want to help break down barriers and make a difference. In short, I care about this community and its people. I love travelling, photography, the countryside and collecting vinyl albums – preferably from the 70’s and 80’s
