Sam Watling

Sam is a community organiser and both works and volunteers supporting the third sector with a focus on improving community cohesion and mental health. 

Sam came on board and was instrumental in helping us grow from a CIC into a charity, he is the host of our podcast and his approach is about challenging outdated views of masculinity as a route to fighting stigma, improving wellbeing and reducing suicide. 

Sam has experience of running community events and volunteer led projects, writing successful funding bids and holding space for important conversations that challenge the status quo.

Sam has a relentless optimism about the potential of every individual and believes that given the right support, community and tools, the smallest groups can make a life-changing difference.
