Shaun Bennett
Specialisms: Empowerment and community radio
Shaun co-launched a community radio station in the early part of the Covid 19 Pandemic lockdown aimed at giving people impacted by the lockdown and feeling isolated/affected in other ways an opportunity to break that isolation through the medium of radio.
Empowering people of all ages and abilitiers to create their own style of radio show and encouraging others to try something different or something new has given Shaun an opportunity to also express himself and to identify opportunities to help and encourage others to face their challenges and fears, using access to media for wellbeing purposes.
Most recently Shaun's efforts have been focused on launching a men's group (pilot name MOTR Mouths - which is short for Men on the Radio) made up most from volunteers within the community radio station.
An advocate for Men's Mental Health and Mental Wellbeing in the Workplace, Shaun is undertaking personal development training to enable him to play a more significant role in his day-to-day business function where he has responsibility for a workforce of over 120 and predominatly male dominated workplace.
