A young carer who has been studying hard, volunteering and caring for her mum for many years has won herself a scholarship.
Now in the second year of her Education and English degree, Emilia McRobie, 19, from Gateshead has received a £2,000 Edge Hill Entrance Excellence Scholarship.
In sixth form, Emilia volunteered with Newcastle-based Success4All – a children's tutoring and befriending service. She also helped at a local school as a football coach, teaching assistant, and librarian.
