Wendy Chioza, social worker said, "Lambeth provided a great opportunity for me to return to study for my Masters Degree in social work and further my career. Without their funding, it would have been difficult to fund this myself. I was in the voluntary sector but I now work on a new project for young adults involved in crime and using class 'A' drugs. This is an exciting, although sometimes challenging client group to work with but it's a valuable and rewarding area."
