User Testimony

Beneficiary - Monique Nembhard 21, lives in Upper Norwood and heard about Our mentors from her housing association. She moved into her own flat for the first time and started to struggle with bills.

“I was finding it difficult to manage my rent and bills, so I…was put in touch with my mentor Matilda. It made me so happy to get advice and help through Lambeth FACE. It gave me confidence and made me realise that I wasn’t on my own. I’ve become a lot better at budgeting. Now I’m at uni studying Criminology, Psychology and Social Justice – I love it!”
