When youth trouble in his town kept making headlines, local business owner Matthew Taylor chose a different response.

He was later diagnosed with functional neurological disorder, a condition caused by changes in brain networks.

Life Beyond The Post Office Scandal - Tom Hedges' Story

In one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in modern British history, hundreds of ordinary people found their lives shattered by the Post Office scandal. Among them was Tom Hedges — a man who went from trusted subpostmaster to accused criminal almost overnight. This podcast tells Tom’s story.

Faced with loss, isolation, and the weight of a system that refused to listen, Tom turned inward — toward his faith, and toward the unwavering love of his family and friends.
