On Friday 2 December Beyond Words gathered together with friends for an extra-special evening to celebrate the achievements of author, co-founder and constant collaborator Nigel Hollins.
The evening was organised around Dimensions UK’s Learning Disability and Autism Leaders List, which Nigel was nominated as a Leader for in the category of Work and Education for his work with Beyond Words. We gathered to watch the live streamed announcement of the winners – and to recognise Nigel ourselves with our own special award.
To celebrate Nigel’s achievements over the years, and the achievements of everyone who has worked to make our charity so special, we created the Beyond Words Lifetime Achievement Award. Alicia Wood, our CEO, presented the inaugural award to Nigel during the gathering at City Lit.
But that wasn’t all. City Lit surprised Nigel with their very own award for his work and achievements with them, with Principal Mark Malcolmson presenting him with an Outstanding Contribution Award.
It was a wonderful evening of well-deserved recognition for Nigel. Thank you to everyone who came along and made the event so special.
