This led to a number of exciting community development and leadership roles in both the third and the public sector.
His published work includes case studies on Social Land Ownership and Community Involvement in Private Woodlands.
A firm believer in the value of peer-led learning and non-directive leadership, Fabio is eagerly looking forward to his first Social Enterprise Open Camp event.
