Did you notice the Dimensions Leaders Awards taking place in Bristol this week? We were so proud to see people who draw on support with MacIntyre nominated in three different awards and who were also Winners.

All three were people who have embraced our Everyone Everywhere approach. They thought about what they are good at and what they care about enough to do something about. And then they were supported to take action!

🎅Marc loves all things Christmas and wanted to share that with people locally. He connected with local nurseries to share the magic with young children.

⚽Sohail is passionate about football and is a talented coach. He set up an inclusive weekly kick-about where people can come together, make friends and keep active. He connected with a local community centre and even kids on the way home from school get involved and join in.

🍲In Chesterfield (pictured) people cared about food waste and bringing people together. Soup and Chat was born where people pick up the left over veg from their local foodbank and each week turn it into soup for local people to share together.

All of these incredible stories show the same things. When people are supported to build on their strengths and connect great things happen. They create opportunities, bring people together and make a real difference in the lives of others. They are truly worthy winners! Congratulations to all the winners and nominees.

Proud of you, Head Coach! 💜

We’re still feeling the positive vibes from our Marjorie Newton Wright staff Awards last week! 💜

Despite a strong turnout from us, and a good few nominations for the Staff here as well, it was Max who represented us with pride, charisma and his signature humour!

From start to finish Max graced the stage, introducing us to the awards, welcoming guests, hosting conversations and eventually bringing this extra special 60th Anniversary celebration to a close 🌅

What a fantastic day for us all, it’s certainly another purple feather in the cap for Max 🌟

Rounding off our Dimensions Leaders nominations in style is Sohail from Leicester!

A passionate football coach and goalkeeper, Sohail turned a personal goal into reality by coaching local children's football sessions and gaining coaching qualifications through the FA.

Not stopping there, he went on to create MacIntyre Leicester Football Club, building a team, securing a home ground and even winning shirt sponsorship from a local business.

His nomination celebrates his determination, leadership and ability to bring people together through a shared love of football.

Congratulations Sohail!

As most of you know, Zoey took the incredibly brave step to undergo a double mastectomy 2 years ago, after fighting cancer for the second time in 10 years.
Today she is receiving reconstructive surgery, hopefully meaning she can finally close the door on this whole chapter.
Please join us in sending Zoey your well wishes and positive thoughts today, and keep your fingers crossed for a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹
