Brendan Smith

I am a proud father of three with a rich and varied life shaped by my experiences and passions. Having been involved in and around the world of addiction, I have worked in several roles that have deepened my understanding of human resilience and the importance of support.

I dedicate time to giving back to the community, including volunteering at Watford Hospital and leading a men's group at Dartmoor, where I foster connection and mutual growth among participants.

Beyond my work, I enjoy pursuing creative and grounding hobbies such as gardening and sculpting, which allow me to express myself and connect with nature. These activities, along with my varied interests, contribute to a fulfilling and meaningful life.
