We’re especially proud right now of our first Student Ambassador, Isaac Abatan. Isaac was also our first male Youth Ambassador. He has helped run fundraising events, carried heavy equipment for us, offered lifts and supported us at Brighton & Hove City Council events. Our only worry about Isaac is that he may not be a ‘student’ very much longer. 

Isaac Abatan is now a graduate. On 14 July 2025 he received his BA (Hons) in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Loughborough University in the presence of his parents Kathy and Tunde, the former a trustee and the latter a stalwart volunteer. Isaac’s sister Isobel was also there.

Our hope now is that Isaac will undertake post graduate work, so he can carry on being a Student Ambassador.

Our warmest congratulations to Isaac and to all his family.
