Sam recently co-founded the Nottingham based community activist group ‘Nottingham Pastel Project’- whose aim is to establish Nottingham as the UK’s first official Trans Sanctuary City.

In his spare time, he enjoys writing, painting Warhammer, going to the theatre, playing TTRPGs, and doing anything involving food!
