BARRY STEVENS
Founder & Family Support Worker
I’m a fully qualifed Community Youth Worker, having worked in both the voluntary and statutory sector. Most recently I founded the Caleb’s Mountain project, which supports children and young people in the Forest of Dean by working with their families and education establishments. I believe this holistic approach will impact children and young people more significantly than other approaches currently available.
