"I'm proud to be so involved with raising awareness about self-injury, FirstSigns offers so much hope to people who feel they have to remain silent."
Wedge relied upon self harm in the past, and 'came
out' while at university. Since then, he has battled with the syndrome
of self harm and sought professional support, so as to be free of self
harm.

specialising in Internal Communications.
Outside of work, Wedge designs websites for small businesses, and enjoys reading, writing, designing, and
