Equality N.E. Awards 2017
As a group, we put together an application to include content of how we have supported our members,
local community and parents. We had a visit from Helen from Equality North East Awards to discuss about
the application and what content could be added.
We have been nominated as finalists for the "Small Company Making a Big Difference in the North East"
we are very honoured to have this nomination and to be one of the finalists at the Equality Awards 2017
event on 19th October.
Our Director, Peter and Thomas, our Admin Support Worker attended the event at the Hilton Hotel in Gateshead
to represent Skills 4 Work.
The event included free wine, a live band of young people and a 3 course meal. The winners of the "Small
Company Making a Big Difference" Award was Gateshead Carers who work really hard and do a great job around
Gateshead.
Peter and Tom had a really good time and they had a great opportunity to learn about other organisations
and what they do.

The KEY Award 2017
We were delighted to be asked to attend the Key Award 2017, which took place in the Banqueting Suite at Newcastle City Centre.
We were thrilled to be shortlisted for 2 of our Social Action Projects which involved our charity providing Afternoon Tea
for over 75 older residents in Birtley, and also providing art activities including water-colour painting, card making and bingo over 5 venues.
Over 400 projects have taken place through the Key in 2017 and therefore to be shortlisted to the last 6 was a huge achievment.
Our Development Manager was also short-listed as Facilitator of the Year 2017, for her support and dedication to the projects and commitment over the past 3 years.
