Dan Spragg, 33, worked in garages in Stroud and Quedgeley until the pandemic hit when, with a mortgage and kids to support, he turned to making social media content. His videos went viral and now he’s using his platform to raise money for charity, including joining four others to raise more than £11,000 for SANDS: The Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity.
