I've been involved in youth work since I was 14 and worked for Lambeth Youth Council for more than 16 years. I set up the Brixton Soup Kitchen in 2013 because walking around the area at a young age I realised there was a need for support and there weren’t many services around. I didn't want to be one of those people who just complains so I decided to do something and it's just grown from there. My moto is Aspire to Inspire!
