INTRODUCING OUR AMBASSADORS
Jason Alder, Ambassador
"I have lived in Brixton for six years and before that I lived in services on Coldharbour Lane and Lambert Road. I really enjoy being involved with Southside Partnership and my favourite thing is being part of interview panels. I also had fun helping to host the King's & Queen's night at Jamm in Brixton. Now I am an Ambassador I am responsible for representing Southside and getting involved in meetings and functions that happen outside which keeps me very busy. "
"I get on really well with my Support Worker Taffy and she has helped me to save up for six months. Now I have enough money for my summer holiday to the Isle of White."
"My dream is to become a Director of a Learning Disability Charity."
Sandra Joseph, Ambassador
"I began my time with Southside Partnership as a customer at Fanon Resource Centre in Lambeth. I took the opportunity to go on lots of courses including Food Hygiene which helped to build up my confidence. I now attend a mainstream college and am learning British Sign Language (BSL). As an Ambassador for Southside I enjoy being able to inform people of their choices and to encourage other customers that there is hope. Most importantly I like being able to give something back as without the help from Southside and the Resource Centre this wouldn't have been possible."
"My dream is to help children with Mental Health issues in their recovery to give them confidence and to help them feel worthwhile."
Ivy Hemmings, Ambassador
