Natalie won the Outstanding Achievement in Learning award at our recent awards.

After serious illness, major surgery and caring responsibilities, Natalie returned to education determined to rebuild her confidence.

Maths was a challenge at first, but her hard work paid off with an incredible 100% score in both parts of her Entry Level 3 exam. She's now progressing to Level 1 Maths and continuing her learning journey.

Natalie brought along her family on the day who couldn’t have looked any prouder.

Congratulations to Geoff who recently received out Resilience and Determination Award.

When Geoff was forced to stop working due to ill health, he never imagined he'd be studying for a digital qualification. Starting with our First Steps course, he built confidence, made new friends and discovered a love of learning that's leading him to his next adventure: digital photography.

Geoff’s advice to others thinking about learning is to just go for it. "You won’t be the only one who’s scared. If you’re sitting on the fence, just do it. It’ll open up more opportunities than you can imagine.”

Geoff was nominated for his award because of his kindness and the inspiring way he has re-entered education.
