Glenn has had a variety of roles in social services and is currently helping ex prisoners with accomodation with The Salvation Army in Addington, and prior to that working with Stepping Stone with community mental health recovery. In this interview we find out about those initiatives but also hear about his cancer journey – from feeling a soreness on his tongue to having surgery just a few days after this interview was recorded.
Since recording this interview several months ago the good news is the cancer has not spread and Glenn’s speech is adapting and returning to normal despite a large part of his tongue being removed.
