SPONSORED BY THEARGUS.CO.UK Winner: Elaine Soudain ELAINE Soudain consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty in her role as a mentor at Bevendean Primary School.
She provides children with a safe and caring person to turn to with any worries ranging from simple school-related issues to very complex personal situations.
Elaine said: “Winning this award just feels great.
“I can’t really describe how good it feels – I wasn’t expecting it at all.”
She admitted to feeling a bit nervous about addressing the 300-strong audience at the Amex, but enjoyed her moment.
She added: “I was very nervous, I’m still a bit shaky now, but I’m just so grateful.”
