UNIVERSITY graduate Sarah Nevinson is an example of the result of hard work and the right attitude according to her delighted parents.

The 21-year-old from Longdin Street, Latchford graduated from Birmingham University with a 2.1 dual honours degree in sociology and social policy.

Sarah has lived in Latchford all her life and was educated at Alderman Bolton School, Sir Thomas Boteler High School and Priestley College.

Her delighted dad, Colin Nevinson, said: "We're very proud, it shows what children from around here can achieve and hopefully this is just the start for her."

Sarah is currently working at Brookson Ltd, Centre Park and has enrolled on a part-time post-graduate course in personnel and development at St Helens College.
