About our founder.
David Bourroughs
Buddies for All founder David Bourroughs was born with cerebral palsy, is a wheelchair user, and has recently developed high frequency hearing loss.
He also has experienced challenges with his mental health due to the 2020/21 Covid-19 lockdowns and living alone, thereby like many others he recognises the effects of social isolation.
He has a First Class BA (Hons) degree in advertising and digital marketing communications from the University of Greenwich. Additionally, with a professional career surpassing a decade, extensively covering all sectors of commerce – Private, Public & Charitable, he has expertise in operational management, business communications, content management systems, supporter development and editorial direction.
His ability to operate across multi-disciplinary projects stems from the wearing of many hats during his professional career – researcher, data analyst, marketer, campaign management and the implementation of social care plans and budgets.
These experiences have equipped him with key attributes that are at the core thrust of his ambitious character making him highly motivated, hugely determined, a fast learner, with excellent communication skills and a strong team player. This showcases his undoubted ability to run a community led business.
