To mark the 2020 Inspire! Adult Learning Awards, Nia speaks to two former winners, Johnny Spence and Scott Jenkinson.

Johnny Spence’s severe dyslexia meant his school years were miserable and he ultimately fell into a bad crowd. Scott Jenkinson was homeless, a drug addict and spent time in a Spanish prison. Both talk to Nia about how education helped save them.
