Spirit of S2S

Vincent Mgbemena

This year, the Spirit of S2S Award goes to someone whose self-nomination sealed the deal. When staff first met him he seemed a little unsure of himself, but we have all had the privilege of watching him gain the confidence to show us all who he is and what he is capable of. He has been a phenomenal Peer Supporter, and a fantastic ambassador for the S2S service. He has brought people to the space in House 47 who would never otherwise have thought to come to us, and he has encouraged them to find their true voices. 

This year, he also took a role with the Counselling Service’s Student Advisory Board and has become an ambassador for the S2S service there as well. He speaks very thoughtfully and passionately about the role and value of the service, and doesn’t hesitate to let staff know when something needs to be worked on. The moment when he clapped back that “Peer Supporters know full well never to give advice” will go down in SAB history!
