Prof. Green is a brand champion to several global blue chip brands and spends significant time investing and encouraging young people who may not have a desire or confidence to pursue a formal education. In 2016 he received the MIND Making a Difference National Award rewarding his dedication to campaigning about men’s mental health through his documentaries autobiography, music and media work.
