With over 14 years of hands-on experience supporting children and young people across education, community organisations, alternative provisions and care settings, Ben brings a deep understanding of how to engage those often left behind by traditional systems.
Living with ADHD himself, Ben has a unique ability to connect with young people who feel misunderstood or overlooked. A qualified Child and Youth Practitioner (BSc) and Well-being Coach with years of experience in multidisciplinary teams, his approach is practical, inclusive and rooted in lived experience. Through Activ8tion, Ben’s mission is to create safe, energising spaces where every young person can feel seen, celebrated and equipped for life.
