Our latest story on Who Are You Now? comes from William. 
When William was rushed to hospital following a stroke at just 23, it would dramatically change the course of his life.

Some of these changes were positive – it allowed him to turn his back on a lifestyle which contributed to his injury, and return to education with the hope of starting a new career.

But it has not been without significant challenges. From failures in the statutory system to the reality of returning to work – William’s journey has been fraught with obstacles. He now looks forward to a steadier future.
