Celebrating 60!
As MacIntyre turns 60, we wonder if Ken and Marjorie Newton Wright, our founders, could have imagined back in 1966 that the small school they started in Bedfordshire would grow to a national charity supporting over 1400 children, young people and adults.
But they were visionary and determined people, doing something radically new: treating children with a learning disability as if they had value and potential. This was unusual in days when life for people with learning disabilities would be in an institution. So we think perhaps they could see the long-term promise of the fledgling charity they founded all those years ago.
We're doing a number of things to celebrate our anniversary this year, with an overarching theme of kindness. In a polarised world, simple kindness is more important than ever, so we are starting with our 60 Acts of Kindness Bingo Cards. The idea is that you download a card, start filling it in, carry on throughout the year and let us know in December how you got on.
