Hello and welcome to Extra Ordinary with me James Wallis.
This Podcast is all about ordinary people who have gone on to do and see extraordinary things and this weeks guest is no exception.
At just 17 years old Ben West tragically lost his brother Sam to suicide.Since then ,Ben has been tirelessly campaigning to bring about change in schools, universities and society more broadly.
Ben has won a Pride of Britain award, the Diana award and the mental health hero award for his mental health campaigning work and is a real hero for so many people up and down the country.
I was humbled by Ben’s resilience and he is a true example of what it means to be extraordinary.
