Personal Connections with Steve Webster
Description
Uniting for change, making a difference and building a support network for FND patients, Founder and CEO of FND Dimensions, Steve Webster, knows that strength is found within a peer-led community. Having worked in the charity sector all his life, his focus had been on community and youth development. However after a long period of ill health between 2006 and 2012, Steve's career in the environmental sector came to an end. Steve's purpose is now to focus on providing people with FND with personal connections.
KEY TAKEAWAY
"If people feel like they've got ownership over something and they have a say in the way it's run, then their commitment to it is stronger as well."
