My name is Samantha Marie Clough I am 37 years young, I am a Mother to 3 beautiful children my first born who I had when I was a teenager she is now finishing her first year at university, proud is a understatement. My second Daughter has just started her journey into secondary education, I drop her in the morning and collect her in the afternoon as I'm so concerned with what is happening on our streets I would prefer her to not be exposed to anything which cannot be unseen. My Son who is 8 going on 9 is my biggest concern because if we don't stand up for our community NOW and make change what will it be like in 5-10 years time??? I run my own personalised gifts and favors buisness & I am also a independent consultant running sand art workshops both could do with more attention to become very successful but for what is going on in our community currently my buisnesses take a back seat. I also work as a customer service assistant in a school. I teach my children how I was taught by my Grandmother the grounded morals, family values where manners are free and can take you anywhere. I was taught to Dream, believe, achieve and this is what I want from my project to pass down the knowledge I was given that a lot of the younger generation are not lucky enough to receive or don't know how to perceive it. If I can save one life, one mother from heartache, one child from incarceration, in every borough of London, I would have achieved something don't you think?
