A beacon of empathy and hope

Meet Lo from Wandsworth who is building confidence in adults in her community.

Ever felt the frustration and insecurity of navigating a new language and community? Lo from Wandsworth certainly has. In her teenage years, she grappled with low English proficiency, leaving her feeling isolated and unable to communicate effectively. This very struggle became the catalyst for Lo's incredible journey with LEAH.

For the past nine years, Lo has been a dedicated LEAH volunteer, channeling her personal experience into a powerful force for positive change. She understands the challenges faced by adults learning a new language and empathises deeply, having walked a similar path herself.

Lo's commitment to LEAH has given her a profound sense of purpose. Witnessing the transformation in her students' self-confidence is a source of immense joy for her.

"It's inspiring to witness the transformation of a shy and hesitant speaker into someone who is more self-assured and at ease when expressing themselves."

Imagine being part of this transformative journey. By volunteering with LEAH, you can make a tangible difference in someone's life, just like Lo. Join us in creating a community where language is a bridge, not a barrier.
