When I first heard about A Band of Brothers (ABOB) and the work they do, I strongly felt this was important and needed. My curiosity took me to an introduction evening and I was very moved. I knew I wanted to take the step into this community, but I still had no idea of the depths I would go to in myself or bear witness to this in other men. It’s truly unique in our society.
I have been part of A Band of Brothers in Crawley for nearly 8 years. The community has experienced trauma and challenges over these years, but is now growing back stronger. I inherited this role on the back of the hard work of many dedicated men in Crawley and would like also to do my part before it’s another man’s turn at leading this incredible community.
I work as an outdoor educator with children from 6-14, teaching about gardening and nature connection. I myself have learned and grown in my profession and I would like other men to benefit from a closer relationship to the natural world. I see both my professional role and role within ABOB complementing each other. I am also grateful for being part of a wider community of ABOB across the country, seeing the work touch other communities.
And finally, I am a single father to a 4 year old girl and empathise with other single fathers about the challenges of co-parenting.
Come along and see what we’re about. Join us at our next Intro Evening on Wednesday 12th March, 7pm-9pm, at the Crawley Youth Centre (address below). All men are welcome.
