Current student Stacey Dixon said: "I am a single mum with 3 daughters and until recently anxiety and depression was taking over my life.
“I want to be a good role model to my daughters and show them that anything is possible so I started the Access to Higher Education Diploma in Social Science in September and, with the help and support I get from my tutors, the course is helping me to gain the skills for a much better future.
"It has given me a sense of purpose and I am proud to say that I see myself working towards gaining the skills for a career in social work."
