Ben Brown Independent Network
Ben was part of the Penicuik network. Ben’s mum shares that the main reason for Ben joining the network was so that he could connect with people and be more social. She describes him as a homebird and a follower rather than a leader. She thinks that has always been the case and something that is naturally part of who Ben is, however, she believed Neighbourhood Networks could help him create connections with peers in the community. Ben was shy and anxious at the beginning of his membership, however, he has worked hard on coming out of his shell.
