Ben Archer
Ben is the youngest of the Brookfield Archers, much loved by his doting grandmother Jill. Deciding to carve out a future away from farming he suffered a setback when his mental health deteriorated, culminating in a psychotic episode in 2022. He was determined to get back to university and after some time away he is back on track.
