Tuesday 10th July saw Building Futures East hold its first Celebration of Success Event.
The ‘Celebration of Success’ which was held at Newcastle Civic Centre’s Council Chambers, saw in excess of 120 people celebrate the achievements of our learning groups and was a chance for families and friends, business partners and employers alike to get an insight into just how successful our learners are in achieving their goals of gaining qualifications and employment.
The Winners
The event was extremely well supported by our sponsors and presenters, all of whom we thank for their ongoing support, participation and enthusiasm to help us continue to thrive and grow.
Of course, most importantly we would like to say a big
‘CONGRATULATIONS’
to all of our nominees and winners who are listed below.
