Sam joined Ecas in July 2016. He has a background in disaster management, working in the humanitarian sector, but retrained in community work. He gained experience of setting up a befriending-style project for a couple of years before joining Ecas.
Sam is passionate about working with people to gain more power over their daily lives, and to become more involved in their communities. He became a father in 2015 and in the little free time he has left listens to music (fast and loud), watches films (nothing too commercial), watches rugby (Saracens) and reads (sci-fi and radical politics).
