Last week, four young people supported by MacIntyre in Warrington celebrated gaining their Silver Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
The Duke of Edingburgh Award is the leading youth achievement accolade, which encourages young people to develop valuable skills through volunteering, physical activities and expeditions.
The group, consisting of Daniel Barker, Katie Green, Ami Grierson and Michael Dully completed the full award in 18 months with the support of three staff members, Lynn Haughton, Sharon Barlow and Darren Briggs.
To celebrate the group’s hard work, each member was presented their award by Sarah Burslem, MacIntyre’s CEO and Andrea Parr, Macintyre in Warrington’s Area Manager.
Lynn Haughton, Learning Support Worker who supported the group throughout said:
“We are extremely proud of them all.”
