Concrete Rose - Mike Farrington

Born 13th August 1982 when the No1 songs in the US were "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor and "Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners, Mike hails from Preston, Lancashire. Since graduating in geography at the University of Cambridge in 2003 he's worked for The Princes Trust and Romsey Mill before founding Concrete Rose in November 2020.
Concrete Rose is a Community Interest Company (CIC) with a Christian ethos and a determination to both deliver, and equip others to provide, first-class care and support for the most vulnerable young people across the UK. They work alongside, and support, those of all faiths (and none), all ethnicities, all genders and all sexualities.

Imagine a community of men who are challenged, inspired and equipped to live passionate lives for Jesus. A place where men-care-for-men through a small number of honest personal relationships initiated and supported by regular male-oriented events. Relationships are built shoulder-to-shoulder doing stuff in preference to eye-balling each other!Ascend Men is that community.Our podcasts reflect that desire to challenge, inspire and equip our men. Some are light-hearted easy-listens. Some deserve to be digested and pondered. If you love them, tell us - we could do with the encouragement. If you can see ways they could be improved, tell us - feedback is a gift.Join our Facebook group or email us (ascend@thec3.uk) to hear more about our fantastic breakfasts in Cambridge, Bury and Colchester as well as our annual Summit in February and Camp in July.
