Iranian born Taraneh Jahani, 38, gained her qualifications thanks to support from the WEA adult education charity and the Riverside Community Project in the city.

She told The Chronicle how the course she had undertaken there had changed her life. Taraneh said: "I have been living in Newcastle for about 10 years. I used to be a care worker. I loved that sort of job - helping others.

"But then I had some health problems and had to stop working.

"I had my son and was very depressed, and had come out of an unhealthy relationship, all while not having family around.
