Gemma Law

Gemma works for 3 days a week at a charity working with people who are mentally ill, among some of the most vulnerable in our society, but she hasn't rested on her spare days and has used her two other days a week to volunteer first at a local charity working with adults and families with alcohol and drug problems for six months and then at a community-based school for disabled children for three months.
