I have been the Conductor of the Penzance community since February 2022.

I first came across a Band of Brothers in 2018, recommended to me as a group who could help me in my personal journey to achieve some kind of internal emotional landscape… having been raised as a very repressed Englishman! I certainly had no interest in mentoring young men at this point. I have found my involvement in ABoB fundamental … Read More

My work has always included elements supporting wellbeing of people and the natural world including … Read More

I’m the very proud and often frustrated father of four young adult children (and recently a grandfather!).  I have worked in the homelessness sector for nearly 40 years, the last 9 as   CEO for Turning Tides, a West Sussex based charity.

I joined ABOB in 2019, and it has since become my community and my home.

It’s a privilege and honour to be elected … Read More

Feeling lost after losing my wife to cancer in 2015, I joined A Band of Brothers in November 2017, not really knowing what it was about. Since then I have … Read More

I completed the abandofbrothers rite-of-passage in 2017 and was elected Conductor of ABoB Manchester in December 2019. I have been on a healing journey for most of my adult life, searching for different ways to heal childhood trauma. This journey has taken me from the psychotherapist’s couch, to 12-step meetings and even to living with indigenous tribes in South America. … Read More

Having heard about abandofbrothers for several years, I decided to get involved in 2018. I was brought up in the East Midlands and got into a fair amount of trouble as a young man, which resulted in me being sent to juvenile detention. I moved to London on my 16th birthday and struggled to find stable housing. I started various … Read More
