Sohil Singal

Whilst studying in London I was involved with mentoring children from deprived backgrounds and supporting them with their education as well as inspiring them to achieve their aspirations. In 2009 I climbed Mount Kenya to raise money for disabled Kenyans to get the Jaipur prosthetic limbs. I graduated in 2011 from University College London with a degree in Economics. Since then I have worked at a number of financial institutions in the City of London. Throughout my life both sets of my grandparents have inspired me. My Mum and Dad have instilled in us the importance of giving back to the community and I hope to continue their legacy.

Anish Singal

Whilst studying for my A levels I started volunteering at Acorns Hospice for children with life limiting conditions. As a volunteer I supported young children and their parents and was proud to have been picked for a weekend away with the children. In 2009 I climbed Mount Kenya raising money for disabled Kenyans enabling them to get prosthetic limbs. For many of the disabled people this was a chance to start leading a normal life and being able to do things they previously had been unable to do so. From a young age I knew I wanted to be a Doctor like my dad. I started my medical degree at University of Liverpool. During Covid I volunteered to be part of the frontline team. I am currently undertaking my training to become a GP. Throughout my life both my grandparents have inspired me to do my best. My mum and dad have both been a driving force and have instilled in me the importance of helping and supporting people that are less fortunate.
