Steve Easter
Steve Easter has over 40 years of experience in improving life for children and adults with disabilities and their families. After starting his career as a social worker in 1978, he became heavily involved in a wide range of challenging projects with a large degree of both financial and personal responsibility. In 1985 he opened and managed a residential service for children and young people with complex disabilities in Kent. As the head of the funding unit in The Children's Society, he maximised income from trusts and statutory and European funding sources. In 2001 became a senior consultant for the National Development Team - Children & Families. From that role he obtained charitable funding to start the Transition Information Network to inspire young people with disabilities and their family carers. Steve has held many positions as a social worker at senior and managerial levels, and is currently transition coordinator across sectors and services in an inner London borough.
