Meet our team! First up, we have our amazing writer, David! David Stokes has been CEO of The Halpern Charitable Foundation since March 2019, leading the charge in using the arts to combat mental health challenges and social isolation.

The photograph has a bright orange border, and around this is a golden brown honeycomb pattern with another bright orange trim, and the B Cre8ive logo sits in the bottom left hand corner.
