“With the guidance, love and support you showed her, she came home full of life and happy, and for this, I can never thank you enough.”

"Years on and the impact is still real. “I was scrolling through TikTok and someone had posted. “If you could live one day in your life again, what would it be?” Mine would be the day we gave the family the key to their house. Everyday I am grateful, thank you”

On Friday night I was awarded with New Professional of the Year at the G4C North East Awards. During the speech, before they announced my name, the presenter talked about my trip to Mexico with M10. Following the award many colleagues and professionals in the industry approached me, keen to learn more.

"Showing kindness to others is something the world needs a lot more of! The trip was life changing for me. It pushed me out of my comfort zone, teaching me not to shy away from the challenges, but more importantly, it taught me to appreciate every moment.”

It was evident from very early on in the year just how organised and meticulous you both were with the arrangements; I felt totally reassured of Sophie's safety. She had a wonderful and very memorable time, and I thank you again for enabling the experience.

I feel the benefits of her confidence acquired with M10 have already been put to good use, in starting Sixth Form college in Newcastle. I am certain she has done so with far more assurity and positiveness than she would have prior to her experiences in Mexico.
