Originally from Uruguay, I immigrated to the UK 16 years ago; I've lived in 6 countries and speak 6 languages. I'm a linguist at Cambridge Uni by day and run Give Your Best in every spare minute.

What started as a project, 14 months later has become an organisation run by 70 volunteers, with 130 more in the wider network, who support 600 women and have received over 8,000 items of donated clothing.
