Building Futures East’s 2nd Annual Celebration of Success Awards Event was held at Northumbria University’s Great Hall on Wednesday 26th June 2013 and was a resounding success. To see just what we all got up to on the day, take a look at the photos as we share with you some extremely proud moments for learners and staff alike.
Over 120 learners, sponsors, presenters, employers, partners, staff, families and friends all came along to the event to help us to celebrate the achievements of our learners throughout the 2012/13 academic year and there was plenty of laughter, applause, cheers and tears (of joy of course) as our award nominees’ names were called out and the outstanding learners presented with their winners’ trophies, certificates and vouchers.
We would like to say a massive congratulations to all of the award winners and nominees and a huge thank you to our presenters and sponsors. To see who they were, scroll down to the bottom of the page…..
We would also like to share with you some of the comments from our learners about the event:
Vicky Nesbit wrote:
“I had a fab day at the Celebration of Success. There was a great vibe and I got to catch up with a few people I hadn’t seen in a while. All the winners were very deserving. Everyone had a great time!”
Su Dixon commented:
“I had a great time at the Celebration of Success. It was lovely to see our tutors outside of a learning setting and catching up with friends I hadn’t seen for a while.”
Pauling Nealings said:
“A great day, well-organised. It was nice to see tutors and other learners again. Great atmosphere.”

“I would just like to take this opportunity to thanks all the tutors for giving me the opportunity to succeed in the various courses that I have studied at Level 2 and Level 3. I would also like to thank BFE for their recognition of my academic achievements. I feel really proud of myself and it has certainly given me a boost in confidence and self-esteem, as well as successfully achieving many of my personal goals from my Individual Learning Plan. The Celebration of Success was such a lovely day and everyone should be really proud of themselves – tutors, learners and award winners. Well done to you all! But most of all to Caroline Hasson for putting all her hard work and organisation to make the event a huge success.” (Tracey Nealings)
