Gabe Tan: Vodafone World of Difference UK programme winner

3 March 2013

Ms Gabe Tan, Research Assistant in the Law School, is one of this year's Vodafone World of Difference Winners. The World of Difference UK programme gives 500 people the chance to work for their dream charity, and get paid. Over the years the programme has helped hundreds of people donate their skills and experience to the charities of their choice.

I hope that I can make use of this opportunity to make a lasting contribution to the Innocence Network UK and the vital work that it does in the area of wrongful convictions.
