The Engage in Their Future Awards 2025 held in Manchester was a truly unforgettable experience for the SES adults and young people attending. The awards celebrate the incredible achievements of young people across the UK.
Despite the long journey, the group’s energy and excitement never wavered. Spirits were high as they explored the Trafford Centre and indulged in a little shopping. The trip saw lots of laughter, shared meals and special moments, including a lovely breakfast together before everyone got dressed up for the awards.
The awards ceremony was filled with clapping, cheering, and a few emotional tears as our young people took the spotlight. One of our young people was very proud to receive a Silver Award in the Good Citizen category for his helpfulness within the house and dedication to feeding the birds. Another confidently walked to the stage to collect a Platinum Award for Outstanding Personal Achievement, recognising his adventurous sailing trip and being completely out of his comfort zone. Another young person shone as she received a Gold Award in Creativity and Arts for her beautiful pottery work. The fourth SES young person proudly accepted a Platinum Award on behalf of Avocet House for their inspiring and ongoing charity work.
It was an afternoon full of pride and celebration, an amazing experience that perfectly reflected the spirit of SES and the incredible young people we support.
