The brothers were unfortunately abused in care but have spent a combined 40+ years working in various roles in social care to ensure their past pains have been used as a purpose to be a listening ear, voice and advocacy for many children navigating through their own care journey now. Both are “being who they needed when they were younger” Smash Life is an award winning company that leads from the heart and provides mentoring, experiences, events, group work, inspirational talks and training."
